The following excerpt is from Richardson v. Valdez, Case No.: 3:20-cv-01760-BAS-JLB (S.D. Cal. 2021):
His Sixth Amendment claim fares no better. The Sixth Amendment protects the rights of defendants in criminal proceedings. "Prison disciplinary proceedings are not part of a criminal prosecution, and the full panoply of rights due a defendant in such proceedings does not apply." Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 556 (1974).
