DICKENSON, Respondent. / Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the court must conduct a preliminary review of § 2254 habeas petitions and dismiss any petition where it plainly appears that petitioner is not entitled to relief. The court has conducted the Rule 4 review with respect to the second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by petitioner on February 3, 2011 and finds that the only claim upon which petitioner may be entitled to relief is that he allegedly has been denied his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment by prison officials' failure to reinstate revoked sentence credits pursuant to a request made by petitioner on April 23, 2008. Respondent will be directed to file a response to this claim only. //// 1
