MEMORANDUM*
DEBBIE MILLER,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Alaska
Timothy M. Burgess, District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted August 11, 2015
Anchorage, Alaska
Before: SCHROEDER, RAWLINSON, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
Sabil M. Mujahid (Mujahid), appeals the district court’s dismissal of his
petition for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. In
the petition, Mujahid challenged a disciplinary proceeding finding him guilty of
disobeying a direct order to cease talking with another inmate.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Mujahid is challenging conditions of his confinement that occurred some
time in the fairly distant past, in a facility where he is no longer housed. In
addition, Mujahid concedes that he lost no good-time credits because of his
disciplinary segregation. Accordingly, because Mujahid does not challenge the
duration of his confinement or an ongoing increased restriction on the conditions
of his confinement, habeas relief is not available to address Mujahid’s challenge.
See Nettles v. Grounds, 788 F.3d 992, 999-1000 (9th Cir. 2015) (“[H]abeas
jurisdiction is available only for claims that, if successful, would have some
shortening effect on the length of a person’s custody . . . .”); id. at 1004 (same for
claims involving “greater restrictions of . . . liberty”); see also Skinner v. Switzer,
562 U.S. 521, 535 n.13 (2011) (“[W]hen a prisoner’s claim would not necessarily
spell speedier release, that claim does not lie at the core of habeas corpus, and may
be brought, if at all, under § 1983 . . . .”) (citations omitted).
AFFIRMED.
