1999On this issue, one court has stated that expungement is only required when (1) the challenged disciplinary determination is not supported by substantial evidence; (2) there has been a violation of one of the inmate’s fundamental [constitutional] due process rights, as enunciated in Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 , 94 S.Ct. 2963 , 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974); or (3) other equitable considerations dictate expungement of the record rather than remittal for a new hearing.
