OPINION

SEDGWICK, Judge.

This is an appeal from a Washington County District Court order denying appellant’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Appellant petitioned for the writ on two grounds: (1) that the Minnesota Corrections Board acted improperly in setting his target release date; and (2) that he was denied equal protection because the good time that he earns is applied against his sentence differently than the good time earned by inmates under the determinate sentencing system. We affirm the denial of the writ of habeas corpus as modified.
