Guardado v. Inspector General ( 2013 )

  • 
    833 F.2d 1316
    , 1318 (9th Cir. 1987) (citing Moody v. Daggett, 
    429 U.S. 78
    (1976)). And neither NRS 179A.150 (providing for the inspection and
    correction of information contained in an individual's record of criminal
    history) nor NRS 179A.160 (permitting the removal of certain criminal
    records from a party's criminal history when the party has been acquitted
    of a charge or has received a favorable disposition regarding the charge)
    creates such an interest. Thus, the district court correctly concluded that
    appellant could not state a due process claim with regard to his being
    labeled an escape risk, as appellant did not identify a liberty or property
    interest that he was deprived of as a result of this classification.    See
    Pressler v. City of Reno, 
    118 Nev. 506
    , 510, 
    50 P.3d 1096
    , 1098 (2002)
    ("The protections of due process only attach when there is a deprivation of
    a protected property or liberty interest"); see also Walker v. Gomez, 
    370 F.3d 969
    , 973 (9th Cir. 2004) (recognizing that a prisoner does not have a
    property or liberty interest in prison employment under the due process
    clause); Hernandez, 
    833 F.2d at 1318
     (explaining that a prisoner does not
    have a protected interest in his prison classification).
    Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
