Smith v. McKinney
Petition for certiorari denied on May 3, 2021
Issue: Whether a court determining if a prisoner has
suffered an “atypical and significant” hardship must
consider factors such as the duration of and justification for the particular conditions imposed (as several
courts of appeals have held), or whether it can confine its analysis to a comparison of the conditions of
other prison populations (as the court below held,
joining several other courts of appeals).
