Most-quoted passages

“In reaching this conclusion, we recognize that the state has the burden in prisoner disciplinary proceedings to prove that the prisoner committed some legally cognizable wrong and the duty to produce at the prisoner's disciplinary hearing the witnesses requested by the prisoner or their signed, written statements. . .. However, any error committed by the state was waived by Saenz when he walked out of the disciplinary hearing without objecting to the absence of [the witness] or his signed, written statement.”
