Heading: The Allegedly Erroneous Information.

Text: Frazier argues that he has a right, conferred by New York prison regulations, New York ease authority, and the Due Process Clause, to have his prison records remain free of erroneous information. We do not reach the issue of whether Frazier has such a right, because we agree with the district court that the information contained in Frazier’s prison file is accurate. Frazier contends that the charges pertaining to the hacksaw blades, which were expunged from his prison records on March 19, 1992, were later reintroduced into his records through two memoranda written by Shawangunk prison officials. But, as the district court found, one of those memoranda accurately states that Frazier’s transfer from Eastern New York prison to Shawangunk was based on his “suspected involvement in introducing escape paraphernalia” (the hacksaw blades). Similarly, the other memorandum accurately states that “while [Frazier was] housed at Eastern C.F.[,] escape paraphernalia was sent into the facility in a package destined for [Frazier].” These statements do not refer to the charges that were lodged against Frazier in connection with the hacksaw blades. Moreover, on appeal Frazier does not contend that the above statements are inaccurate. Thus, assuming ar-guendo that Frazier has a protected interest in ensuring that his prison records remain accurate, he has not shown that his file contains any inaccuracies, and his claim was properly dismissed.
