Description

The Tennessee prisoner before us complains that he was removed from the general prison population and placed in solitary confinement without due process. He won his case in the court below, and the State appeals. The basic issue before us is whether the Supreme Court opinion in Hewitt v. Helms, 459 U.S. 460, 74 L. Ed. 2d 675, 103 S. Ct. 864 (1983)(holding that only minimum due process protections are required when a prisoner is transferred to "non-punitive administrative segregation" as a security threat and for investigation of misconduct), overrules our case of Bills v. Henderson, 631 F.2d 1287 (6th Cir. 1980)(holding that transfer to administrative segregation as punishment for a specific rule infraction under Tennessee prison policies entitles a prisoner to notice, a hearing, a deliberative decision and a general statement of reasons as required in Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 41 L. Ed. 2d 935, 94 S. Ct. 2963 (1974)). We conclude that the Bills case is still good law and affirm the judgment of District Judge Thomas Higgins based on Bills.
