Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge.
A disciplinary officer found inmate Curtis Ellison guilty of possessing heroin at Pendleton Correctional Facility in Indiana. The officer punished Ellison by stripping him of 90 days’ good-time credit. After exhausting his administrative remedies, Ellison petitioned the district court for collateral review under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and he now appeals the denial of that petition. Because Ellison was prevented from defending against the accusation that he possessed a controlled substance, we vacate the district court’s decision and remand for further proceedings.
