ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Before PORFILIO , KELLY , and HENRY , Circuit Judges. **- 2 -

Mr. Webber, a military prisoner appearing pro se an d in forma pauperis, appeals from the dismissal of his habeas petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2241. He claims that he was denied extra good conduct time when he was transferred from disciplinary barracks to a federal prison. Adopti ng the recommendation of the magistrate judge, the district court dismissed the action as moot because Mr. Webber had been restored to extra good time status and retroactively credited for the appropriate amount of time. Mr. Webber objected to the magistrate’s recommendat ion. He claims that the matter was not moot because prior to his transf er he received a greater amount of time based upon his tenure in a particular job. He contends that any reduction in the amount of extra good conduct time that he no w earns is contrary to the prohibition on ex post facto laws recognized in Weaver v. Graham , 450 U.S. 24 (1981). The record is clear that extra good conduct time is increased with tenure in a work assignment. SeeI R. doc. 24, exh. B & exh. B, attach. 2 (Army Reg . 190- 47, ¶ 5-7(c)). Nothing in the regulation, however, suggests that tenure in a work assignment may not begin anew upon a transfer and s ubsequent work assignment. Cf. Sandin v. Conner , 515 U.S. 472, 478 (1995) (reaffirming lack of lib erty interest in being free of prison transfers); Brown- Bey v. United States , 720 F.2d 467, 470 (7th Cir. 1983) (extending Olim v. Wakinek ona , 461 U.S. 238 (1983), to- 3 -

federal prisoners). Indeed, transfer to another fa cility does not implicate the lack of notice that the ex post facto prohibition seeks to prevent. See Weaver , 450 U.S. at 30. The regulation provides between one an d seven days of extra good conduct time per month; that Mr. Webber does not currently earn the six days per month (for assistant instructors and supervisor’s a ssistants) that he did previously does not entitle him to relief on this record. See Hall v. Bellmon , 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991).
AFFIRMED.
