Prisons — prison discipline

Julian Lopez appeals circuit court orders denying his petition for certiorari relief from a prison disciplinary decision and his motion for reconsideration. Lopez contends that: (1) the hearing officer erred by refusing to consider exculpatory evidence; (2) Lopez was denied access to information sufficient to prepare a defense, in violation of his due process rights; (3) the Department of Corrections (DOC) finding that Lopez violated DOC rules was arbitrary and capricious; (4) the DOC improperly relied on confidential informant statements; and (5) Lopez’s staff advocate refused to obtain evidence, in violation of due process and DOC rules. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
