Description

Before Dykman, Vergeront and Lundsten, JJ. 1 Antoine Nelson, pro se, appeals an order denying his petition for certiorari review of a prison disciplinary decision finding him guilty of attempted possession of intoxicants and attempted possession of contraband. He argues: (1) that his due process rights were violated because the record did not contain the official toxicology test result or form DOC-77, which addresses statements made by confidential informants; (2) that he was not given the confidential informants' statements prior to his disciplinary hearing; (3) that there was insufficient evidence to support the disciplinary decision because the confidential informants' statements were uncorroborated and unreliable and the record was void of any information showing that the substance found was marijuana; (4) that the hearing officer did not provide a sufficient written explanation of the decision; (5) that he should have been allowed to submit written statements made by him and another inmate; and (6) that the certiorari record was incomplete because it contained only redacted versions of the confidential informants' statements. We affirm.
