Per Curiam. On the arguendo assumption that appellate __________

jurisdiction exists, we summarily affirm the district court's

judgment. Plaintiff alleges that a prison disciplinary

hearing, at which he was sentenced to fifteen days of

punitive segregation, was tainted by due process violations.

In awarding summary judgment for defendants, the district

court reasonably concluded that no protected liberty interest

had been implicated. See Sandin v. Conner, 115 S. Ct. 2293, ___ ______ ______

2301-02 (1995). Far from calling this conclusion into

question, plaintiff has failed even to mention the matter on

appeal. His separate contention concerning the status of

discovery proves unavailing, inasmuch as the information

requested had no bearing on the Sandin issue. ______

Affirmed. See Loc. R. 27.1. ____________________________
