United States First Circuit

In this action, plaintiff-detainee was held in disciplinary segregated confinement throughout a period of pretrial detention and into a subsequent criminal sentence as punishment for conduct that had occurred while he was imprisoned during a prior criminal sentence. Declaratory and injunctive relief is vacated, denial of qualified immunity to defendant prison officials is reversed, and an award of money damages is reversed, where: 1) defendants did not violated plaintiff's clearly established rights; 2) plaintiff's pretrial disciplinary confinement did not violate due process; and 3) declaratory and injunctive relief was rendered moot.
