## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that twenty-four-hour notice should apply in inmate's case where he "received a copy of the written charge ... three days after his disciplinary hearing"
- reversing prison-disciplinary board ruling depriving inmate of good-time credits, and holding that failure to provide twenty-four-hours prior written notice of charges violated prisoner's due-process rights

## Opinion text

I concur in the result reached by the majority because the record does not clearly indicate that written notice of the charge was given to petitioner prior to the disciplinary hearing as required by Wolff v. McDonnell , 418 U.S. 539 , 564-65 , 94 S.Ct. 2963 , 2978-79 , 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974).
MADDOX, J., concurs.
