Sabil Mujahid v. Debbie Miller

Opinion

*459 MEMORANDUM *

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.

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, Muja-hid 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, habe-as relief is not available to address Muja-hid’s challenge. See Nettles v. Grounds, 788 F.3d 992, 999-1000 (9th Cir. 2015) (“[Hjabeas 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, 131 S.Ct. 1289,179 L.Ed.2d 233 (2011) (“[Wjhen 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.
