Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Clarence Spivey v. Ashbel T. Wall Ii

June 9, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 75

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of post‑conviction relief, holding that the inmate failed to state a claim under the Due Process, Ex Post Facto, or Equal Protection clauses because the statutory change to good‑time credit calculation is discretionary and does not create a protected liberty interest.
