Heading: Access to ADx Test Literature

Text: 19 Carr contends that defendants denied him due process by not allowing him access to materials concerning the reliability of the ADx testing method. This contention lacks merit. 20 Here, given the inherent reliability of the ADx testing method, the fact that inmates are provided with an operator's checklist after each test, and the prison's discretion in executing its penological interests, the district court did not err by finding that the defendants' failure to provide Carr with literature pertaining to the reliability of the ADx test did not violate Carr's right to due process. See Koenig v. Vannelli, 971 F.2d 422, 422 n. 1 (9th Cir.1992) (per curiam) (recognizing that ADx test, when properly performed, is generally accurate).
