PER CURIAM.

      Federal inmate Jimmie Johnson appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged disciplinary proceedings that

      1
        The Honorable Beth Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
ultimately resulted in, among other things, a loss of good-time credits. Upon careful
de novo review, see Mitchell v. U.S. Parole Comm’n, 538 F.3d 948, 951 (8th Cir.
2008) (per curiam), we agree with the district court that Johnson was afforded
adequate due process in the disciplinary proceedings, and that the disciplinary
decision was supported by “some evidence,” see Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445,
454-57 (1985) (when prison disciplinary hearing results in loss of good-time credits,
inmate must receive (1) advance notice of charges; (2) opportunity--consistent with
institutional safety and correctional goals--to call witnesses and present documentary
evidence; and (3) factfinder’s written statement of evidence relied upon and reasons
for disciplinary action; regarding sufficiency of evidence, due process is satisfied if
“some evidence” supports disciplinary decision to revoke good-time credits; “some
evidence” standard does not require examination of entire record, independent
assessment of credibility of witnesses, or weighing of evidence; even if evidence is
“meager,” due process satisfied as long as record is not so devoid of evidence that
findings of disciplinary board were without support or otherwise arbitrary).

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
