Bryant v. State

McMILLAN, Presiding Judge.

The appellant, Paul Bryant, appeals from Escambia Circuit Court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking relief from the results of a prison disciplinary proceeding.

Bryant contends that the decision was arbitrary and capricious and that it was not based upon any evidence.
