Annotate this CaseBefore FAGG, BOWMAN, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Charles Denny Leeson appeals the district court's order staying his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action until Leeson exhausts state remedies. Because Leeson seeks the restoration of good-time credits, the district court properly applied the 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus exhaustion requirement to Leeson's § 1983 action. Offet v. Solem, 823 F.2d 1256, 1257-58 (8th Cir. 1987). Thus, we affirm.
We deny Leeson's motion to modify the record on appeal. Leeson can request modification of the docket sheet in the district court.
