United States Fourth Circuit
Waddell v. Dep't of Correction, 11-7234
Denial of a petition for habeas corpus is affirmed, where: 1) the department of corrections' practice of applying earned good time credits for certain identified purposes, but not for the purpose sought by the petitioner, did not give rise to a liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause; and 2) the prisoner's ex post facto claim had no merit because no legislative or regulatory enactment ever altered his award of good time credits.
