Keith Larance, Petitioner-appellant, v. Charles E. Wright, Respondent-appellee, 59 F.3d 173 (7th Cir. 1995)
Annotate this CaseBefore Bauer, Easterbrook and Manion, Circuit JUdges.
ORDER
The Conduct Adjustment Board (CAB) at Westville Correctional Center found inmate Keith LaRance guilty of battery and ordered LaRance to be segregated for three years and to reduce LaRance's credit class from class II to class III. LaRance appealed this decision to the prison superintendent and then to the Indiana Department of Correction. Each appeal affirmed the CAB's order. LaRance then brought this petition for habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 arguing (a) the CAB's verdict was not supported Lane, 939 F.2d 409, 411 (7th Cir. 1991), cert. denied sub. nom., Farrel v. McGinnis, 502 U.S. 944 (1991). Furthermore, LaRance failed to demonstrate adequate cause to excuse his failure to raise the claim and actual prejudice resulting from that default. Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72, 87, 97 S. Ct. 2497, 2506 (1977).
