Former California state prisoner Francisco J. Gil appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action alleging a violation of his right to due process in connection with the forfeiture of good time credits following a rules violation hearing. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Keenan v. Hall, 83 F.3d 1083, 1088 (9th Cir.1996). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record, Gordon v.

See Wolff v.
