MEMORANDUM

Scott Troy Cook is an inmate at Pelican Bay State Prison serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. In 2008, prison officials validated him as an associate of a recognized gang and transferred him to the Security Housing Unit. The officials appeal the district court’s denial of their motion for summary judgment on qualified immunity as to Cook’s § 1983 due process challenge to the adequacy of the notice he received in his validation process. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 to review “whether, taking all facts and inferences therefrom in favor of the plaintiff, the defendants] nevertheless [are] entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law,” Jeffers v. Gomez, 267 F.3d 895, 905-06 (9th Cir. 2001) (per curiam), and we reverse.

In the circumstances of this case, Hewitt v. Helms, 459 U.S. 460 , 103 S.Ct. 864 , 74 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983), provides the appropriate due process standard. See Bruce v. Ylst, 351 F.3d 1283, 1287 (9th Cir. 2003). Under Hewitt , the inmate must be afforded “some notice of the charges against him and an opportunity to present his views to the prison official charged with deciding whether to transfer him.” 459 U.S. at 476 , 103 S.Ct. 864 .

Here, the officials easily satisfied that standard. Cook was notified that he was slated for validation as a gang associate. Following California regulations, the investigator gave Cook the evidence supporting validation: a copy of the non-confidential source and forms summarizing the four confidential sources. The source and forms included the relevant details, dates, and parties. Cook was permitted to reply to that evidence both orally and in writing. He wrote four pages responding to each of the five pieces of evidence individually. Cook also appeared at hearings before the deciding committee where he was permitted to make his case. The officials provided all the process that was required. See Toussaint v. McCarthy, 801 F.2d 1080, 1099-101 (9th Cir. 1986).

Because there was no violation of Cook’s due process rights, the officials are entitled to qualified immunity on Cook’s due process claim, and summary judgment should be entered for them. See Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194 , 201, 121 S.Ct. 2151 , 150 L.Ed.2d 272 (2001), overruled on other grounds by Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 , 129 S.Ct. 808 , 172 L.Ed.2d 565 (2009).

REVERSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. . To the extent Cook challenges whether there is "some evidence” in the record to support his validation, his argument fails because at least one of the relied-upon pieces of evidence has "sufficient indicia of reliability.” See Bruce, 351 F.3d at 1287-88 .
