112251P.pdf   09/04/2012  Timothy Green  v.  Dave Dormire
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2251
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. Defendants' decision to relocate plaintiff to a mental health facility and detain him there did not violate his due process rights; finding that plaintiff was severely disabled was sufficient to permit defendants to involuntarily medicate him; Missouri Department of Corrections policy did not expand plaintiff's liberty interest in avoiding involuntary medication, and his involuntary medication did not violate the policy; the procedures defendants followed provided plaintiff with the required due process protections as he was given notice, a hearing with the right to be present and cross-examine witnesses, a neutral decision maker and the right of appeal.
