2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Not only is it beyond belief that Harrison could not anticipate that the test results would be positive, but, as earlier stated, his argument lacks any support in the case law. Wolff requires only that Harrison be given written notice of the charges against him no less than twenty-four hours before the hearing. Wolff, 418 U.S. at 564 , 94 S.Ct. at 2978 . He got written notice on the morning of January 27 that he was charged with ‘5-5 I-H Drug or Intoxicant Abuse,’ and that the hearing was set for the morning of January 29.... “... As to the test results, Harrison was informed at the disciplinary hearing that the EMIT test was positive for marijuana, and was given an opportunity to view the card on which the test result was recorded. Transcript of Hearing before U.S. Magistrate at 81, 125, 188. Harrison did not seek out the test result before the hearing, as he could have done, id. at 128, 153-55, and he asked no questions about the result when shown the result card at the hearing. Id. at 188.””
