Henry J. Wilson v. Al Budney, Sr.

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided November 9, 1992No. 92-2152PublishedCited by 53 opinions

1Per curiam

A prison inmate does not have a protectable liberty or property interest in his custodial classification. Moody v. Baker, 857 F.2d 256, 257-58 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 985, 109 S.Ct. 540, 102 L.Ed.2d 570 (1988). Henry J. Wilson’s disagreement with his medical classification is insufficient to establish a constitutional violation. Varnado v. Lynaugh, 920 F.2d 320, 321 (5th Cir.1991). The State was not required to permit Wilson, a mental patient, to attend classes and religious services with the general prison population. See Green v. McKaskle, 788 F.2d 1116, 1125 (5th Cir.1986).
