Notice: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 Provides That Dispositions Other Than Opinions or Orders Designated for Publication Are Not Precedential and Should Not Be Cited Except when Relevant Under the Doctrines of Law of the Case, Res Judicata, or Collateral Estoppel, 133 F.3d 928 (9th Cir. 1997)

MEMORANDUM^* 

Jim Oram, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deprivation of procedural due process. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.¹  We review de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment, see Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam), and we affirm.

Here, Oram contends that he was denied procedural due process when he was not allowed to call a witness at his disciplinary hearing.²  Because the hearing officer had a positive result on a drug screen, because Oram was able to testify at the hearing, and because the witness Oram wanted to call to the hearing was not a medical professional, we conclude that Oram was not deprived of any procedural right. See Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455 (1985) (stating that prison officials only need "some evidence" upon which to base a finding of guilty); Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 566 (1974) (stating that prison officials may deny witnesses where their testimony would unduly extend the hearing or be unnecessary).³ 

We also conclude that Oram failed to present any evidence that prison officials violated his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834 (1994).

AFFIRMED.⁴
