Don Diago Francisco Glover,
Susan G. McClintock,
No. CV-12-689-TUC-CKJ (BGM)
Currently pending before the Court is Petitioner Don Diago Francisco Glover’s pro
se Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 For a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal
Custody (“Petition”) (Doc. 1). Respondent McClintock has filed her Answer and Response
in Opposition to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (“Response”) (Doc. 8). Petitioner filed
a Traverse (Doc. 13) and a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, Summary Judgment and
Judicial Notice (Doc. 14). Respondent has filed a Response in Opposition to Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings, Summary Judgment and Judicial Notice (Doc. 16). Petitioner
has filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply (Doc. 17) and a Reply in Support of
his Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 18). Pursuant to Rules 72.1 and 72.2 of the Local
Rules of Civil Procedure, this matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Macdonald for Report
and Recommendation. The Magistrate Judge recommends that the District Court deny the
Petition (Doc. 1). The Magistrate Judge further recommends that the District Court deny as
moot the Petitioner’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, Summary Judgment and
Judicial Notice (Doc. 14) and the Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply (Doc. 17), as
this Reply (Doc. 18) has already been filed and considered by the Court.
Petitioner is currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution (“FCI-
Safford”) in Safford, Arizona. See Response (Doc. 8), Decl. of Matthew J. Carney (Exh. 1)
at ¶ 2. From December 2, 2009 through March 7, 2012, he was incarcerated at the Federal
Medical Center (“FMC-Rochester”) in Rochester, Minnesota. Id. at ¶ 2, Attach. 1. He is
serving a 151 month sentence from the Eastern District of Michigan for Conspiracy to
Distribute a Controlled Substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. Id. at ¶ 2, Attach. 2.
Petitioner is projected to complete this sentence on October 6, 2016, via Good Conduct Time
(“GCT”) provided Petitioner earns all available GCT. Id. at Attach. 2. Petitioner filed a
Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on September 20, 2012.
See Petition (Doc. 1) at 1.
Petitioner challenges a disciplinary conviction that resulted in his loss of good time
Breathalyzer test improperly, (2) he was not allowed to present witnesses and evidence, and
(3) he was not properly informed of program statements and amendments to BOP policies
on Inmate Discipline. Id. at 2. Petitioner requests that 41 days of good time credits be
restored. Id. at 9.
Petitioner alleges that (1) Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) staff performed the
On December 9, 2011, Senior Officer Heather Ptacek administered three Breathalyzer
tests on Petitioner with an Alco-Sensor 3 Breathalyzer. See Response (Doc. 8), Exh. 1,
Attach. 3 at 11. Petitioner registered a .080 reading on his first test at 9:33 p.m., a .082
reading on his second test at 9:35 p.m., and a .103 reading on his third test at 9:48 p.m. Id.
Officer Ptacek wrote an incident report detailing the results of the Breathalyzer tests and
charging Petitioner with a violation of Code 112, Use of any Narcotics, Marijuana, Drugs,
Alcohol, Intoxicants, or Related Paraphernalia, Not Prescribed for the Individual by the
Medical Staff. Id. at 7. The following day, on December 10, 2011, Lieutenant R. Stennes
delivered a copy of the incident report to Petitioner and advised him of his rights. Id. at 8.
That day, Petitioner stated he understood his rights, chose not to comment, and called no
witnesses. Id. On December 14, 2011, Petitioner again signed a form acknowledging that
he had been advised of his rights and indicated that he did not wish to have a staff
representative or witnesses at his Discipline Hearing Officer (“DHO”) proceeding. See
Response (Doc. 8), Exh. 1, Attach. 3 at 9-10.
At the hearing before DHO Auterson on January 10, 2012, Petitioner once again
stated he did not request a staff representative or witnesses and denied the charges brought
against him. Id. at 1. Petitioner claimed that the Breathalyzer machine malfunctioned, an
issue Lieutenant Underwood was aware of, and that procedures were not followed properly
with regards to the time intervals between tests. Id. at 2. Lieutenant Underwood came to the
hearing to clarify that the malfunctions which Petitioner was referring to occurred months
ago and that he was not present on the day Petitioner was breathalyzed. Id. After examining
the evidence, DHO Auterson found Petitioner guilty and imposed sanctions of 41 days
Disallowance of Good Time, 30 days of Disciplinary Segregation, and 60 days loss of
Commissary, Telephone, and Visiting privileges. Id. On May 16, 2012, DHO Auterson
signed the DHO report and two days later a copy of the report was provided to Petitioner.
On June 12, 2012, Petitioner filed his administrative remedy appeal with the Western
Regional Office. See Traverse (Doc. 13), Exh. K1 (Administrative Remedy Receipt). A
response was due to him by July 12, 2012. Id. Having failed to receive a response in the
allotted time period, Petitioner proceeded to appeal to the Central Office on July 28, 2012.
Id. at Exh. K3 (Central Office Appeal Form). Two days later, on July 30, 2012, Petitioner
received the Regional Office’s denial of his request for relief. Id. at Exh. K4 (Regional
Director Response). The appeal at the Central Office level was considered filed on August
7, 2012. Id. at Exh. K3 (Central Office Appeal Form). On September 20, 2012, Petitioner
proceeded to file a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus because he had again failed to receive
a response in the allotted time period. See Petition (Doc. 1) at 1. The Central Office did not
respond to the appeal until September 26, 2012, and the Petitioner did not receive the
response until October 19, 2012. See Traverse (Doc. 13), Exh. K5 at 2 (Unit Manager
Memorandum). The Central Office rejected the Petitioner’s appeal because the Regional
appeal response was not attached and gave him 15 days from September 26, 2012 to re-file
the appeal. Id. at 1 (Central Office Rejection Notice). However, because Petitioner received
the rejection notice more than 15 days from September 26, 2012, he was unable to timely
appeal. Id. at 2 (Unit Manager Memorandum).
rather he seeks relief with respect to disciplinary proceedings that resulted inter alia in the
loss of good time credit while incarcerated at a federal facility. As such, Petitioner is
challenging the manner, location or condition of the execution of his sentence. See e.g.,
Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 858 (9th Cir. 2003) (“a prisoner may seek a writ of habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for ‘expungement of a disciplinary finding from his record
if expungement is likely to accelerate the prisoner’s eligibility of parole.’”) (quoting Bostic
v. Carlson, 884 F.2d 1267, 1269 (9th Cir. 1989)); Tucker v. Carlson, 925 F.2d 330, 332 (9th
Cir. 1991) (a prisoner’s challenge to the “manner in which his sentence was executed . . . [is]
maintainable only in a petition for habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.”);
Rogers v. United States, 180 F.3d 349 (1st Cir. 1999) (section 2241 petition is appropriate
vehicle to challenge the correctness of a jail-time credit determination, once administrative
remedies have been exhausted). Such a challenge must be brought pursuant to § 2241 in the
custodial court. At the time of filing the Petition, Petitioner was incarcerated at FCI-Safford
in Arizona. Accordingly, this Court has jurisdiction over this matter. Francis v. Rison, 894
F.2d 353 (9th Cir. 1990).
F.2d 533, 535 (9th Cir. 1990), overruled on other grounds by Reno v. Koray, 515 U.S. 50, 54-
55, 115 S.Ct. 2021, 2023-24, 132 L.Ed.2d 46 (1995). “Nevertheless, ‘[p]rudential limits like
claim. See Nigro v. Sullivan, 40 F.3d 990, 997 (9th Cir. 1994) (citing Francis, 894 F.2d at
354; Martinez, 804 F.2d at 571). If a claim is procedurally defaulted, the court may require
the petitioner to demonstrate cause for the procedural default and actual prejudice from the
alleged constitutional violation. See Francis, 894 F.2d at 355 (suggesting that the cause and
prejudice test is the appropriate test); Murray, 477 U.S. at 492 (cause and prejudice test
applied to procedural defaults on appeal); Hughes v. Idaho State Bd. of Corrections, 800 F.2d
905, 906-08 (9th Cir.1986) (cause and prejudice test applied to pro se litigants).
The BOP has established an administrative remedy process permitting an inmate to
seek review of an issue relating to “any aspect of his/her own confinement.” 28 C.F.R. §
542.10(a). Under that process, an inmate seeking to appeal a DHO decision shall submit the
appeal “initially to the Regional Director for the region where the inmate is currently
located.” 28 C.F.R. § 542.14(d)(3). “An inmate who is not satisfied with the Regional
Director’s response may submit an Appeal on the appropriate form (BP-11) to the General
Counsel within 30 calendar days of the date the Regional Director signed the response.” 28
C.F.R. § 542.15(a). The deadlines contained within this process may be extended upon
request by the inmate and a showing of a valid reason for delay. 28 C.F.R. § 542.15(a); 28
C.F.R. § 542.14. An appeal is considered filed on the date it is logged in the Administrative
Remedy Index as received. 28 C.F.R. § 542.18. Once an appeal is filed, a Regional Director
shall respond within 30 days; General Counsel shall respond within 40 days. Id. “If the
inmate does not receive a response within the time allotted for reply, including extension, the
inmate may consider the absence of a response to be a denial at that level.” Id.
Here, Respondent avers that Petitioner has failed to exhaust his administrative
remedies. Respondent submits evidence that Petitioner filed an incomplete appeal at the
Central Office level. See Response (Doc. 8), Exh. 1 at ¶ 4, Attach. 4 at 8. The Central Office
appeal was incomplete because it did not include the Regional Office response. Id.
Respondent asserts that Petitioner was notified of the defect but did not take action to cure
it and re-file. Id. Respondent claims that because the Petitioner “has not allowed the
administrative remedy program an opportunity to fully address this issue, and he was
provided an opportunity to correct his Central Office Administrative Remedy Appeal, this
petition should be denied.” See Response (Doc. 8) at 6. Respondent fails, however, to
mention the administrative delays which Petitioner faced in receiving the responses. Nor
does Respondent discuss the effect of Petitioner’s time period to cure and re-file expiring
before he even received a response from the Central Office. Regardless, Respondent seeks
dismissal of the Petition for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Id.
Petitioner contends that he did in fact exhaust the administrative remedies available
to him because he followed the appeal procedure and any delays or incorrect filings are
attributable to the prison administration. See Traverse (Doc. 13) at 2. His BP-10 appeal was
filed on June 12, 2012 and, per 28 C.F.R. § 542.18, a response from the Regional Director
was due to Petitioner within 30 days, by July 12, 2012. Id., Exh. K1 (Administrative
Remedy Receipt). Although the response by the Regional Director was dated July 10, 2012,
Petitioner did not “receive a response” as directed by regulation within the allotted time
period because he only received the response on July 30, 2012. Id., Exh. K4 (Regional
Director Response). As permitted by 28 C.F.R. § 542.18, Petitioner considered “the absence
of a response to be a denial at that level” and he noted the same when he filed his BP-11
appeal to the General Counsel on July 28, 2012. Id., Exh. K3 (Central Office Appeal Form).
The General Counsel received the appeal on August 7, 2012 and had 40 days, until
September 17, 2012, to respond. Id. There were no requests for extensions and the response
by General Counsel was dated September 26, 2012, outside of the allotted time period for
response. See Traverse (Doc. 13), Exh. K5 at 1 (Central Office Rejection Notice). The
appeal was rejected because Petitioner had not attached a copy of the BP-10 appeal and
response; however, these documents were unavailable when Petitioner filed his BP-11. Id.
In the rejection response, General Counsel gave Petitioner 15 days from September 26, 2012
to resubmit his appeal with the proper documents attached. Id. Petitioner did not receive the
response from General Counsel until October 19, 2012, well outside the 40 days time allotted
for response and over 15 days from the date of rejection, rendering it impossible for him to
timely file a corrected BP-11. Id. at 2 (Unit Manger Memorandum). Petitioner was given
a memorandum from a Unit Manager at FCI-Safford stating that the reason Petitioner could
not timely and properly appeal was not his fault, but rather was because of the delay in
receiving responses. Id. Petitioner did not receive his response from General Counsel within
the allotted time period, so once again, per regulation, he considered “the absence of a
response to be a denial at that level” when he filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on
September 20, 2012. See Petition (Doc. 1) at 1-2.
The Court concludes that Petitioner has exhausted his administrative remedies.
Petitioner offers evidence that he has attempted to timely and correctly file at every level but
his attempts have been frustrated by administrative delay. The prison failed to timely
respond to both Petitioner’s Regional and Central Office appeals. “If General Counsel fails
to respond within 40 days, the inmate can assume that the appeal was denied and proceed
with a lawsuit.” Martin v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 2011 WL 6057508, *2 (C.D. Cal. 2011).
Furthermore, interference by government officials would constitute an excuse for procedural
default. Nigro, 40 F.3d at 996 (citing Francis, 894 F.2d at 355). A “prison’s failure to act
promptly cannot bind a pro se prisoner.” Id. (quoting Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 276,
1008 S. Ct. 2379, 2385 (1998)). The Eastern District of California considered the effects of
a prison’s failure to timely respond and stated that:
[A] complaint should not be dismissed for failure to exhaust administrative
remedies where prison officials do not respond to an appeal in the time
allowed for responding under grievance procedures. Prison officials have
apparently not followed their own regulations regarding the time for
processing administrative appeals in this case. Under these circumstances, the
delay in the processing of plaintiff’s appeal excuses further exhaustion.
Mayer v. Redix, 2012 WL 360202, *6 (E.D. Cal. 2012) (internal citations omitted). The
obligation to exhaust “available” remedies persists as long as some remedy remains
“available” and a prisoner need not press on to exhaust further levels of review once he has
received all “available” remedies at an intermediate level of review. Brown v. Valoff, 422
F.3d 926, 935 (9th Cir. 2005). Brown discusses the effect of prison delay, noting that “[d]elay
in responding to a grievance, particularly a time-sensitive one, may demonstrate that no
administrative process is in fact available.” Id. at 943 n. 18. As discussed by the Central
District of California, unavailable remedies can excuse exhaustion because:
The PLRA “does not require exhaustion when circumstances render
administrative remedies ‘effectively unavailable.’” Sapp v. Kimbrell, 623 F.3d
813, 822 (9th Cir. 2010). An administrative remedy becomes unavailable for
purposes of exhaustion if prison officials do not respond to properly filed
grievances or if they otherwise use affirmative misconduct to thwart an
inmate’s attempts to exhaust. See Nunez v. Duncan, 591 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th
Cir. 2010); Brown v. Valoff, 42 F.3d at 943 n. 18 (9th Cir. 2005).
Ekene v. Cash, 2013 WL 2468387, *4 (C.D. Cal. 2013). Petitioner has offered evidence to
support his contention that he exhausted his administrative remedies. He has timely filed all
of his appeals and but for the delay of the prison administration, he could have filed the
Central Office appeal correctly or cured his defects. Respondent does not proffer an
explanation for the delays, nor do they address Petitioner’s arguments that the delays forced
him to file early and gave him an impossible time window to cure his defects. Petitioner
allowed the administrative remedy program an opportunity to address the issue, but once the
administration failed to respond timely, Petitioner took the next steps in the appeal process
as allowed by regulation. The prison’s failure to timely respond should not deny the
Petitioner his right to appeal and his procedural defects should be excused. Accordingly,
Petitioner has exhausted administrative remedies and the Court shall consider the merits of
Petitioner asserts that his due process rights were violated because (1) the BOP staff
performed the Breathalyzer test improperly, (2) he was not allowed to present witnesses and
evidence, and (3) he was not properly informed of program statements and amendments to
BOP policies on Inmate Discipline. See Petition (Doc. 1) at 2.
As such, they have a due process interest in the disciplinary process that may take away those
credits. Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 556-67, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 2975, 41 L.Ed.2d 935
(1974). “Due process in a prison disciplinary hearing is satisfied if the inmate receives
written notice of the charges, and a statement of the evidence relied on by the prison officials
and the reasons for disciplinary action.” Zimmerlee v. Keeny, 831 F.2d 183, 186 (9th Cir.
1987), cert. denied 487 U.S. 1207 (1988) (citing Wolff, 418 U.S. at 563-66, 94 S.Ct. at 2978-
79). Additionally, “[t]he inmate has a limited right to call witnesses and to present
documentary evidence when permitting him to do so would not unduly threaten institutional
safety and goals.” Id. (citations omitted). “Prison disciplinary proceedings[, however,] are
not part of a criminal prosecution, and the full panoply of rights due a defendant in such
proceedings do[] not apply.” Wolff, 418 U.S. at 556, 94 S.Ct. at 2975.
Once the minimal procedural requirements of Wolff are met, the district court must
ask “whether there is any evidence in the record that could support the conclusion reached
by the disciplinary board.” Superintendent, Mass. Correctional Inst. v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445,
455-56, 105 S.Ct. 2768, 2774, 86 L.Ed.2d 356 (1985). “[T]he requirements of due process
are satisfied if some evidence supports the decision by the prison disciplinary board to revoke
good time credits.” Id. “Ascertaining whether this standard is satisfied does not require
examination of the entire record, independent assessment of the credibility of witnesses, or
weighing of the evidence.” Id. Indeed, “[t]he standard is ‘minimally stringent’ only
requiring ‘any evidence in the record that could support the conclusion reached by the
disciplinary board.’” Cato v. Rushen, 824 F.2d 703 (9th Cir. 1987) (citing Hill, 472 U.S. at
454-56) (emphasis added in Cato).
Petitioner asserts that the BOP staff improperly administered his Breathalyzer test.
He claims the Officer Ptacek did not comport with the Testing Procedures found in Program
Statement 6590.07 section 8. See Traverse (Doc. 13) at 1 (citing Exh. H3 (Program
Statement 6590.07)). The procedures require that an inmate who tests positive with a reading
of .02 or higher be administered a confirmation test 15 minutes after the initial test. Id. The
Breathalyzer Log indicates the following results for Petitioner on December 9, 2011: a
reading of .080 at 11:33 p.m., .082 at 11:35 p.m., and .103 at 11:48 p.m. See Response (Doc.
8), Exh. 1, Attach. 3 at 11. Although Petitioner was given an extra test in between the initial
test at 11:33 p.m. and the confirmation test at 11:48 p.m., the testing procedures were still
properly followed. The procedures do not prohibit additional tests on the inmate or other
inmates in between the 15 minute period, they simply require a second confirmation test 15
minutes after a positive test. Here, Petitioner tested positive at 11:33 p.m. with a reading of
.080 and 15 minutes later, at 11:48 p.m., the second confirmation test was again positive with
a reading of .103. At the DHO hearing, Petitioner also argued that the Breathalyzer device
malfunctioned and that Lieutenant Underwood was aware of the malfunction. Id. at 2.
Lieutenant Underwood clarified during the DHO hearing that the malfunction Petitioner was
referring to occurred several months prior to the date of the incident in question and that he
was not present for the Petitioner’s Breathalyzer test. Id. There is no evidence to suggest
the Breathalyzer device malfunctioned when Petitioner tested positive. Therefore, this Court
finds that the record demonstrates that Petitioner was not denied due process because the
Breathalyzer test followed procedures and the device was not malfunctioning.
2. DHO Hearing
Petitioner further alleges that he was denied due process because he was denied the
right to call witnesses or present evidence at the DHO hearing. Respondent has demonstrated
that on December 10, 2011, the day after the incident, Petitioner received a copy of the
incident report, was advised of his rights and stated he understood them, and chose not to
comment or call witnesses. See Response (Doc. 8), Exh. 1, Attach. 3 at 8. On December 14,
2011, Petitioner was advised of his rights at the DHO hearing and indicated that he did not
desire to have a staff representative or witnesses at his hearing. Id. at 10. On December 30,
2011, in an Inmate Request to Staff form, Petitioner stated he wished to reserve his right to
call witnesses and the staff disposition read “noted.” See Traverse (Doc. 13), Exh. F (Inmate
Request to Staff Form). At the DHO hearing on January 10, 2012, Lieutenant Underwood
was contacted to clarify about the Breathalyzer malfunction. See Response (Doc. 8), Exh.
1, Attach. 3 at 2. The DHO report further states that Petitioner requested no witnesses. Id.
At a disciplinary hearing, an inmate waives his right to call a witness “by failing either to
reiterate his request for [the witness’s] testimony when given the opportunity or to object to
the close of the hearing.” Barboza v. Kelsey, 2008 WL 2512785, *10 (C.D. Cal. 2008)
(quoting Bedoya v. Coughlin, 91 F.3d 349, 352 (2nd Cir. 1996)). The DHO report does not
mention any requests or objections by the Petitioner regarding witnesses during the hearing.
Petitioner received copies of the DHO findings after the hearing. See Response (Doc. 8),
Exh. 1, Attach. 3 at 6. This Court finds that the record demonstrates that Petitioner was not
denied due processes because he initially waived his right to witnesses and thereafter did not
object to this waiver at the hearing.
3. Program Statements and BOP Policies
Finally, Petitioner asserts that he was not properly informed of program statements
and amendments to BOP policies on Inmate Discipline. Petitioner claims there was no
memorandum informing the inmate population of new program statements and amendments.
See Petition (Doc. 1) at 6. Petitioner sent several staff requests trying to obtain a copy of the
new program statement or ascertain who was responsible for informing the inmate
population. See Traverse (Doc. 13) at 2 (citing Exhs. D1-3 (Inmate Request to Staff Forms)).
A staff member responded, informing Petitioner that the procedure for informing the inmate
population of new program statements or amendments is through the electronic law library.
Id. at Exh. D2 (Inmate Request to Staff Form). Respondent provides evidence, via a
declaration from the Unit Manager, that a notice was placed on inmate bulletin boards
regarding the new policies and the program statement was available in the electronic law
library. See Response (Doc. 8), Exh. 2 at ¶ 3 and Attach. 1. Petitioner offers no evidence
to rebut the Respondent’s showing that a bulletin notice was posted and the policies were
available in the law library. Further, Respondent points out that due process was satisfied
because Petitioner was always aware that the use of intoxicants in prison is prohibited
conduct, and he only argues that there was not adequate notice of the increased penalties he
could face for engaging in prohibited conduct. See Newell v. Sauser, 79 F.3d 115, 117 (9th
Cir. 1996) (“[i]t is clearly established, both by common sense and by precedent, that due
process requires fair notice of what conduct is prohibited before a sanction can be
imposed.”). As such, the Court finds that the record demonstrates that proper procedure was
followed to inform inmates of program statements and amendments to BOP policies on
Inmate Discipline.
In conclusion, there is no evidence that the Breathalyzer test was administered
improperly, that Petitioner sought and was denied his right to call witnesses, or that Petitioner
was not properly informed about BOP policies. Accordingly, the Court finds that the due
process requirements as delineated by Wolff were met in this case. Additionally, in light of
Petitioner’s Breathalyzer results, the Court finds that the DHO findings were supported by
“some evidence” as required by Hill, supra. Therefore, the Petitioner’s Petition shall be
