California state prisoner Keith Duane Arline, Jr., appeals pro se from the
district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging a due
process claim arising from a disciplinary hearing. We have jurisdiction under 28

Cir. 2004), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Arline failed
to raise a genuine dispute of fact as to whether defendant Powell’s findings were
not supported by some evidence. See Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455
(1985) (requirements of due process are satisfied if “some evidence” supports the
disciplinary decision); see also Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 563-70 (1974)
(setting forth due process requirements for prison disciplinary proceedings).
AFFIRMED.
