No Liberty Interest in Prisoner's Classification Level

Cardoso v. Calbone, 2007 WL 1739694 (6/18/07)(published) - The prisoner did not have a liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause in the reduction in his classification level, even though the reduction resulted in a significant loss of good time earning potential. Due process was not implicated because the reduction was not mandatory resulting from a prison determination, but rather it was based on a discretionary prison decision.
