Heading: Statement of Reasons for Disciplinary Action (555 F.2d at 631-33)

Text: 23 Upon reviewing the Committee's statement of reasons for finding Hayes guilty as charged, 2 we held first that it, too, violated applicable regulations in that it merely adopted the violation report and the report of the special investigator. 3 Second, we held that the Committee did not meet minimum due process requirements as set forth in Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974), because it failed to give an adequate statement as to the evidence relied on or reasons for the action taken. Thus, we held that the District Court erred in dismissing that portion of the Hayes complaint.
