PER CURIAM.

This case comes on appeal by Plaintiff on the ground that his good time credit

was improperly revoked because the hearing officer lacked the authority to sit as a

disciplinary hearing officer under 28 C.F.R. § 541.16 and BOP P.S. 5270.07. The

district court, acting through Magistrate Judge Henry Jones, pointed out that the

Plaintiff has not asserted any adverse interest by the hearing officer in the outcome

of the disciplinary proceeding and that Plaintiff’s claim concerning the hearing

officer’s lack of qualification is not sufficient to constitute unconstitutional bias. On

that basis, the district court dismissed the petition with prejudice. We affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
