Outcome
District court's dismissal of plaintiff's § 1983 action for failure to state a claim was affirmed. The court held that plaintiff's challenge to a prison disciplinary proceeding resulting in loss of good-time credits is barred under Heck v. Humphrey because success would necessarily imply the invalidity of the disciplinary decision.
