California Court of Appeal

In case where plaintiff-correctional officer was injured while quelling a fight between rival prison gangs, defendants-prison officials did not deprive plaintiff of his liberty interests under the federal due process clause as defendants did not restrain plaintiff's ability to act on his own behalf, even if they orchestrated the fight as plaintiff alleges.
