Smith (Tony) v. Warden ( 2014 )


Menu:
  •                  demonstrate that he was entitled to any additional credits. A prisoner
    has no right to employment while in prison, and therefore, appellant
    cannot demonstrate that the lack of employment and opportunity to earn
    statutory work credits violated any protected right. See NRS 209.461(1),
    (6); Collins v. Palczewski, 
    841 F. Supp. 333
    , 336-37 (D. Nev. 1993)
    (recognizing that a prisoner has no independent constitutional right to
    employment and that the Nevada statutes do not mandate employment).
    Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
