Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants-prison officials’ motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendants violated his constitutional rights by withholding 93 days of potential good-time credit on ground that any issuance of additional good-time credit would have improperly reduced plaintiff’s sentence to below 180-day mandatory minimum. Record showed that plaintiff had sued wrong individuals in instant lawsuit inasmuch as none of named defendants had authority to either change or establish his sentence.
