Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 4:03-CV-1358-A
-------------------------------------------------------------
Before SMITH, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Wayne Eddlemon, federal prisoner #23004-112, appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition in which he challenged the loss of good-time credits following his disciplinary conviction for
fighting. In his petition, he argued that because he was a pretrial detainee at the time that he
committed the offense that led to his disciplinary conviction and because he had not been sentenced

to a term of imprisonment at that time, the loss of good-time credits was not an available sanction.
At the time that Eddlemon was found guilty of the disciplinary case, he was a convicted and
sentenced prisoner. Thus, the loss of good-time credit was an available sanction for the disciplinary
case. Given the foregoing, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. Royal v. Tombone, 141
F.3d 596, 599 (5th Cir. 1998).
AFFIRMED.
