District Court, S.D. New York April 25, 1986, 85 Civ. 6057 (GLG) (Green v. Coughlin)

OPINION

GOETTEL, District Judge:

In years past, when prisoners’ civil rights cases were first beginning to clog the court calendars, state regulations were enacted to govern prison disciplinary proceedings. Presumably, these regulations would alleviate the flood of federal suits alleging due process violations in administering prison discipline. This laudable objective has never materialized.
