Respondent-Appellee.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before TACHA , Chief Judge, McKAY and McCONNELL , Circuit Judges.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination
of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). This case is

conviction. He contends that the prison disciplinary proceeding violated his
substantive and procedural due process rights, as well as various Bureau of Prison
program statements. The district court dismissed. We review the case de novo,
construing petitioner’s claims liberally on account of his lack of legal counsel.
The district court reviewed each of petitioner’s claims, and stated and
applied the correct legal standards. See Wolff v. McDonnell , 418 U.S. 539, 563-
66 (1974); Superintendent v. Hill , 472 U.S. 445, 454 (1985). We have reviewed
petitioner’s arguments and record submissions on appeal, and affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court.
Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of costs or
fees is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
