Where former state prisoner, who was no longer in custody, brought a 42 U.S.C. '1983 action alleging his due process rights were violated when he was sanctioned for violating prison rules, dismissal of action affirmed; while District Court erred in ruling that claim was not cognizable, summary judgment was appropriate because being placed in disciplinary detention and administrative segregation did not deprive plaintiff of a protected liberty interest.
