1Opinion of the Court
PAUL KELLY, Jr., Circuit Judge.
Petitioner-appellant Steve Smith, an inmate appearing pro se, appeals the denial of his petition for habeas corpus, 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The magistrate judge recommended that the petition be denied. The district court adopted the recommendation and denied the petition. We grant ed a certificate of appealability to consider whether the Oklahoma Department of Corrections violated the Ex Post Facto Clause when it rescinded certain of Mr. Smith’s earned time credits. We reverse and remand the case to the district court with instructions to grant the writ. 1
