Al-Tariq Jacobs, Appellant-Appellant v. Robert Stephens, Respondent-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment, holding that the disciplinary hearing's violation of the 24‑hour notice requirement was harmless error, that failure to inform the inmate of confrontation rights did not prejudice him, and that substantial evidence supported the finding of a threat. A dissent argued the 24‑hour requirement is essential and should warrant vacating the sanction.
