Metcalf v. Superintendent Doc. 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA SOUTH BEND DIVISION GEORGE METCALF, ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Petitioner, vs. SUPERINTENDENT, Respondent. CAUSE NO. 3:16CV528-PPS OPINION AND ORDER George Metcalf, a pro se prisoner, filed a habeas corpus petition challenging the prison disciplinary hearing (ISP 16-03-12) that was held at the Indiana State Prison on March 9, 2016. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer (DHO) found him guilty of Interfering with Staff in violation of C-364 and sanctioned him with a written reprimand. A prison disciplinary action can only be challenged in a habeas corpus proceeding where it results in the lengthening of the duration of confinement. Hadley v. Holmes, 341 F.3d 661, 664 (7th Cir. 2003). A written reprimand did not lengthen the duration of Metcalf’s confinement, therefore habeas corpus relief is not available in this case. For these reasons, the petition is DENIED pursuant to Habeas Corpus Rule 4 and the Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case. SO ORDERED. ENTERED: August 16, 2016 /s/ Philip P. Simon CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT Dockets.Justia.com
