UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 96-1100
ERIC E. DAVIS, A/K/A ERICO DAVIAS,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE PRISON DISCIPLINARY BOARD, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
[Hon. Paul J. Barbadoro, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Boudin, Circuit Judge,
Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge,
and Stahl, Circuit Judge.
Erico Davias on brief pro se.
Jeffrey R. Howard, Attorney General, and Daniel J. Mullen, Senior
Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellees.
Per Curiam. On the arguendo assumption that appellate
jurisdiction exists, we summarily affirm the district court's
judgment. Plaintiff alleges that a prison disciplinary
hearing, at which he was sentenced to fifteen days of
punitive segregation, was tainted by due process violations.
In awarding summary judgment for defendants, the district
court reasonably concluded that no protected liberty interest
had been implicated. See Sandin v. Conner, 115 S. Ct. 2293,
2301-02 (1995). Far from calling this conclusion into
question, plaintiff has failed even to mention the matter on
appeal. His separate contention concerning the status of
discovery proves unavailing, inasmuch as the information
requested had no bearing on the Sandin issue.
Affirmed. See Loc. R. 27.1.
