*1 Before STEWART, Chief Judge, and CLEMENT and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: [*]
Jonathan Rodriguez-Ruiz, federal prisoner # 44015-177, appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition challenging his disciplinary conviction for engaging in or encouraging a group demonstration. He contends that he was not guilty of the infraction because he acted as a translator for the *2 Case: 16-30833 Document: 00514047226 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/23/2017
No. 16-30833
other inmates. Rodriguez-Ruiz also claims that the hearing officer violated his due process rights by denying his request to call witnesses.
The incident report constituted sufficient evidence of the offense because it detailed how Rodriguez-Ruiz encouraged other inmates to gather around a prison official. See Hudson v. Johnson , 242 F.3d 534, 536-37 (5th Cir. 2001). The hearing officer report indicates that Rodriguez-Ruiz was informed of his right to call witnesses but did not avail himself of the opportunity and, thus, there was no violation of his due process rights. See Wolff v. McDonnell , 418 U.S. 539, 563-70 (1974).
AFFIRMED.
