MULLINS, Judge.
Gabriel Vasquez appeals the district court’s denial of his pro se
postconviction-relief (PCR) application. In his PCR application, Vasquez
appealed the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) hearing decision finding Vasquez
violated a prison rule, for which Vasquez was sanctioned with one day of cell
confinement. As a result of the incident, Vasquez also lost his prison job.
Vasquez concedes he did not lose any earned time as a result of the
proceedings before the ALJ. We affirm the district court’s finding the discipline
imposed did not result in a substantial deprivation of Vasquez’s liberty or property
interests and thus dismissal of the PCR application was warranted. See Iowa
Code § 822.2 (2015); Wycoff v. Iowa Dist. Ct. for Lee Cty., 580 N.W.2d 786, 787
(Iowa 1998).
We affirm without further opinion. See Iowa Ct. Rule 21.26(1)(a), (c), (d)
and (e).
AFFIRMED.
