             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
                                                                                page 2

Before:      KOZINSKI, Chief Judge, NOONAN and SILVERMAN, Circuit
             Judges.

      August doesn’t allege any condition that enhanced his sentence in “such an

unexpected manner as to give rise to protection by the Due Process Clause of its

own force,” or imposed an “atypical and significant hardship on the inmate in

relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life.” Ghana v. Pearce, 159 F.3d 1206,

1209 (9th Cir. 1998) (quoting Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 484 (1995)). His

due process claim therefore fails.

      REVERSED.
