Skinner v. Department of Justice
Certiorari Denied
Petition for certiorari denied on October 4, 2010.
Docket No.09-1188
Op. BelowDC Circuit
Issue
Whether a prisoner’s federal damages claims challenging disciplinary segregation and the loss of visitation rights and commissary privileges resulting from certain alleged prisoner misconduct — claims that otherwise could proceed without exhaustion of habeas remedies — nonetheless must be dismissed in favor of habeas because prison officials also chose to revoke good-time credits based on the same incident, and any challenge to that revocation would lie exclusively in habeas.
