in the loss of good conduct time. Following de novo review, we conclude that “some
evidence” supports the hearing officer’s decision that Frees aided the possession of
a drug not prescribed for another inmate by the medical staff. See Flowers v.
Anderson, 661 F.3d 977, 980 (8th Cir. 2011) (standard of review). A guard saw Frees
allow another inmate access to her own prescription bottle of medication for a higher
dosage than prescribed to the other inmate, constituting a violation under the plain
language of the disciplinary code or a reasonable interpretation of it. We therefore
affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
