Judgment Vacated in Aikens v. Lash
The Supreme Court granted certiorari, granted respondents leave to proceed
in forma pauperis, and vacated and remanded the Seventh Circuit's decision
in Aikens v. Lash, 54 F.2d 55 (7th Cir. 1975), a case in which segregated
Indiana state prisoners were given the right to a lay advocate in
disciplinary transfer hearings. The Seventh Circuit was instructed to
reevaluate the case in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Baxter
v. Palmigiano, 425 U.S. 308, 96 S.Ct. 1551, 47 L.Ed.2d 810 (1976) (holding
that state prisoners have no right to retained or appointed counsel at
disciplinary hearings). There are numerous other opinions in this case
listed in the Index. See: Lash v. Aikens, 425 U.S. 947, 96 S.Ct. 1721, 48
L.Ed.2d 191 (1976).
