1Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM: *
Jerome Keith Antone, Texas prisoner # 649602, sued Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) officials under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, arguing that his constitutional rights were violated when he was found guilty in a prison disciplinary hearing of possession of contraband that did not belong to him. Antone was punished with 45 days of cell and recreation restrictions, a reduction in classification status from “S3” to “Line I,” and the loss of 30 days of good time credits.
The district court dismissed Antone’s complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). A complaint is “frivolous”…
