18                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

19 VANZI, Judge.
 1   {1}   Plaintiff, a self-represented prisoner, appeals from an order granting summary

 2 judgment on Plaintiff’s civil claims. We issued a calendar notice proposing to affirm.

 3 Plaintiff has responded with a memorandum in opposition. We affirm.

 4   {2}   Plaintiff continues to claim that he was denied due process by his disciplinary

 5 proceedings. [MIO 3] The district court granted summary judgment in favor of

 6 Defendants. [RP 224] “Summary judgment is appropriate where there are no genuine

 7 issues of material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Bank

 8 of N.Y. Mellon v. Lopes, 2014-NMCA-097, ¶ 6, 336 P.3d 443 (internal quotation

 9 marks and citation omitted).

10   {3}   Defendants presented an affidavit and documents that showed that Defendants

11 complied with the procedural protections given to inmates during the disciplinary

12 process, including notice, a hearing, the right to be present, and the taking of evidence.

13 [RP 141-59] Under such circumstances, this Court has ruled that due process has been

14 afforded. Griffin v. Thomas, 2004-NMCA-088, ¶¶ 51-52, 136 N.M. 129, 95 P.3d

15 1044. To the extent that Plaintiff is asserting that Defendants failed to establish a

16 prima facie showing that they were entitled to summary judgment [MIO 4], our review

17 of the records indicates otherwise. [RP 141-59] Finally, we believe that Defendants

18 were entitled to summary judgment even if, arguendo, we applied a heightened due

19 process review under our state constitution.



                                               2
 1 ISSUE 2:

 2   {4}   Plaintiff continues to claim that the district court erred by failing to rule on

 3 various motions before granting summary judgment. [MIO 15] These motions

 4 apparently requested further discovery and a motion to amend the complaint. [DS 3]

 5 Defendant has not established that these motions would have created a sufficient

 6 material factual dispute to avoid summary judgment. See Morris v. Merchant, 1967-

 7 NMSC-026, ¶ 24, 77 N.M. 411, 423 P.2d 606 (“The function of an appellate court is

 8 to correct an erroneous result, and it will not correct errors which, even if corrected,

 9 will not change the result.”). Instead, we construe Plaintiff’s motions as a bare

10 assertion that material factual disputes could develop. A party opposing summary

11 judgment “may not simply argue that [evidentiary] facts [requiring a trial on the

12 merits] might exist, nor may [the party] rest upon the allegations of the complaint.”

13 Dow v. Chilili Coop. Ass’n, 1986-NMSC-084, ¶ 13, 105 N.M. 52, 728 P.2d 462.

14   {5}   For the reasons discussed above, we affirm.

15   {6}   IT IS SO ORDERED.
