IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT ALAN HECKER,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-1511 FCD GGH P

vs.

SUE HUBBARD, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed a

petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner’s original petition

was dismissed because it was unclear precisely what petitioner was challenging. Although his

amended petition does not provide a great deal more clarity, it appears that he seeks to challenge

what might be characterized as a quasi disciplinary action, resulting in the loss of 35 days of

good time credits. He seeks restoration of his original December 22, 2009, release date by

having his good time credits restored.

While it is not clear that petitioner has set forth a cognizable claim pursuant to 28

U.S.C. 2254, the court sees little point in asking petitioner to amend further. Instead, respondent

will be directed to file a response.
