   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3766
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. District court did not err in finding plaintiff had made a prima facie case of retaliatory discipline; award of punitive damages affirmed as the evidence supported the finding that defendant's decision to file an untrue disciplinary report in deliberate disregard of prison regulations was reprehensible conduct; amount of the award did not violate the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
