MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Terry L. Slaughter appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

*700 Slaughter contends that his rights to due process and equal protection were violated when the Department of Corrections assessed a 130-day forfeiture of good time credits in violation of California statutory law and regulations. The California Superior Court denied relief because Slaughter could not establish that the forfeiture of credits was erroneous. This decision was neither contrary to, nor involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law, as determined by the United States Supreme Court. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1). Nor was the decision based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(2).

Based on the foregoing, we need not reach the certified issue.

AFFIRMED.
