Facts

Petitioner, an inmate serving a life sentence, got into a fight with another inmate regarding gambling. Petitioner was found guilty of violating California Code of Regulations, title 15, section 3005(a) for behavior that might lead to violence. He was assessed a 30 day loss of credit for the violation, but the credits were later restored. He later filed the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court challenging the state courts' denial of habeas relief.

PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS:
Petitioner alleged that his due process rights were violated during the adjudication of his disciplinary action.

RESPONDENT'S CONTENTIONS:
Respondent contended that the petition should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the credits petitioner lost as a result of the rules violation were restored. Therefore, a successful petition would not speed his release, rendering his claims not cognizable.

Result

The court granted respondent's motion to dismiss, with prejudice.
