1Opinion of the Court

—Spain, J.

Appeal from an order of the Court of Claims (McNamara, J.), filed August 29, 2000, which denied claimant’s motion for summary judgment.

Following the administrative reversal of a determination finding claimant guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules, claimant commenced this action to recover damages for alleged wrongful confinement based upon his placement on keeplock status as a result of the disciplinary proceeding. After issue was joined, claimant moved for summary judgment on his claim and he now appeals from the Court of Claims’ denial of the motion. We affirm.
