Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Dale A. Drozd, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted January 18, 2023**

Before: GRABER, PAEZ, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Rosendo Bueno appeals pro se from the district

court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging due process

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). violations arising out of two disciplinary hearings. We have jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Bueno’s action as barred by Heck v.

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), because Bueno challenged the disciplinary

charges and the resulting loss of good-time credits, but he failed to allege facts

sufficient to show that the disciplinary charges, including the loss of good-time

credits, had been invalidated. See Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74, 78 (2005)

(“[A] prisoner in state custody cannot use a § 1983 action to challenge the fact or

duration of his confinement,” but “must [instead] seek federal habeas corpus

relief[.]” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); Edwards v. Balisok, 520

U.S. 641, 645-46 (1997) (challenge to loss of good-time credits not cognizable

under § 1983).

AFFIRMED.
