Before BOWMAN, HEANEY, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.

     Arkansas inmate Thomas Grady brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action
against prison officials, alleging they deprived him of good-time credit
based on a false prison disciplinary.             The district court1 dismissed
Grady's claim as frivolous, citing Heck v. Humphrey, 114 S. Ct. 2364
(1994).   Grady appeals.




     1
       The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and
recommendations of the Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States
Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
     After the district court ruled, we held that Heck bars section 1983
damage claims for loss of good-time credit until the claimant has had the
disciplinary proceeding invalidated.   Sheldon v. Hundley, 83 F.3d 231, 233
(8th Cir. 1996).     Absent any allegation that Grady has successfully
challenged the disciplinary decision, his claim is not cognizable under
section 1983.


     Accordingly, the district court's judgment is affirmed.   See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.

                 CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
