Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit September 24, 2001, No. 00-35419; D.C. No. CV-98-00111-MHW (Dallas v. Spalding)

MEMORANDUM ***

The commencement of prison disciplinary proceedings before the criminal trial on Dallas’s escape charge did not violate his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Even rights “basic to a fair hearing” are “necessarily circumscribed by the penological need to provide swift discipline in individual cases.” Ponte v. Real, 471 U.S. 491, 495, 105 S.Ct. 2192, 85 L.Ed.
