U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2116
District of North Dakota - Bismarck
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit
Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. Filing of petition to revoke probation for failure
to participate in sex offender treatment is not unconstitutional compulsion
or subject to claim for civil liability. Civil rights claim for loss of
performance-based sentence-reduction credits is barred by Heck v.
Humphrey, even though defendant is no longer incarcerated and habeas
corpus relief is unavailable. Loss of good time credits does not amount to
compulsion and state conditioning sentence reduction on participation in
treatment program does not violate the Fifth Amendment self-
incrimination clause. Denial of access to court claim was properly
denied, as defendant did not show prejudice.
