Charles W. Tyler, Petitioner-appellant, v. A.f. Beeler, Respondent-appellee, 956 F.2d 278 (10th Cir. 1992)

Appellant Tyler appeals the dismissal of his habeas corpus petition. Because we hold that the district court did not err in dismissing, we affirm.

The appellant is a federal prisoner who brought this habeas proceeding to remedy alleged errors in a prison disciplinary hearing. The appellant was disciplined for smuggling narcotics into the prison where he was serving his sentence. He argues the following errors dictate the granting of habeas relief:

(1) That the disciplinary hearing officer relied on confidential informants' statements without making a determination that the informants were reliable in accordance with 28 C.F.R. § 541.17(f) and Brown v. Smith, 828 F.2d 1493, 1495 (10th Cir. 1987).

(2) That the appellant's right to due process was violated when prison authorities failed to hold a rehearing he had been granted within thirty days and failed to conform with other time limits.

(3) That the appellant's right to due process was violated when prison authorities changed in various ways the incident report recounting the infraction.

After examining the record, including the reports relating to the confidential informants viewed by the district court in camera, we conclude that the district court correctly dismissed the appellant's habeas petition for substantially the reasons stated in the district court's Memorandum Opinion of July 1, 1991.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the district court.
