ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus.1 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
In his petition filed on January 31, 2018, appellant claimed that his due process rights were violated at a prison disciplinary hearing, resulting in disciplinary segregation and restitution. Appellant's claims challenging the prison disciplinary proceedings were not cognizable in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus because appellant did not lose any credits and the claims challenged the conditions of confinement. See Bowen v. Warden, 100 Nev. 489, 490, 686 P.2d 250, 250 (1984); see also Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 486 (1995) (holding that liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause will generally be limited to freedom from restraint

Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
