183613P.pdf   03/31/2020  Craig Smith  v.  James McKinney
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3613
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Loken and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. The conditions of confinement plaintiff endured in segregation and upon his transfer to the Iowa State Penitentiary did not impose on him an atypical and significant hardship in relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life; transfer to a higher security facility alone is insufficient to establish an atypical or significant hardship and demotion to segregation, without a detailed description of the conditions of confinement, is not itself an atypical and significant hardship; loss of privileges, such as employment and wages, does not amount to an atypical or significant hardship.
