   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2465
                          and No:  10-2712
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. For the court's prior opinion in
   this action alleging plaintiff's 14-year detention in administrative
   segregation violated his procedural due process rights because the
   periodic reviews of his continued detention were not meaningful, see
   Williams v. Norris, 277 F. App'x 647 (8th Cir. 2008). District court did
   not clearly err in finding that defendants' administration of the review
   process was not meaningful for purposes of the due process clause as the
   record showed the defendants gave undue weight to past facts and failed
   to provide Williams, with any reasonable specificity, reasons for their
   belief that he constituted a continued threat to security and order in the
   institution; district court erred in calculating the measure of Williams's
   nominal damages as each day spent in administrative segregation did not
   constitute a separate constitutional violation; instead the faulty 60-day
   classification reviews were the pertinent deprivation and Williams is
   entitled to $1 for each procedurally defective review hearing; case
   remanded for recalculation of damages; district court did not abuse its
   discretion by denying Williams's request for compensatory or punitive
   damages. Judge Loken, dissenting.
