Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. _____________ PER CURIAM.

William W. Swanson appeals the district court's denial of Swanson's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Swanson contends corrections officers misconstrued the state's "good time" statute in violation of Swanson's constitutional rights. Having reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude the district court's judgment was correct. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
