1Opinion of the Court
MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
John Ault, one of the defendants in a suit brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, appeals the trial court’s ruling that a prisoner’s due process rights were violated when he was transferred to a higher-security facility without a hearing. He also appeals the amount of the damage award. The prisoner, Richard John Freitas, Sr., cross-appeals the amount of damages awarded to him, one of the trial court’s factual findings, and the. trial court’s holding that he was not sexually harassed by Irene G. Howard, a prison official. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
