Haynes v. Nebraska Dept. of Corr. Servs.

Summary

The court affirmed the district court’s decision upholding a prison disciplinary sanction against Haynes for drug or intoxicant abuse. It held that the appeal was properly perfected despite the unresolved in forma pauperis application, but reviewed the merits only for plain error because Haynes failed to designate assignments of error. The court found no plain error in interpreting the drug-testing regulation or in concluding that substantial evidence supported the disciplinary finding.
