1Opinion of the CourtGartzke, P.J.
Appellant Harlan Richards, an inmate at Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI), brought an action for habeas corpus against respondents Russel Leik, the classification chief of the department of corrections, and Gary McCaughtry, the superintendent of WCI. Richards sought habeas to review his retention in maximum security at WCI and to order respondents both to reduce his security rating and to transfer him to Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution. The tried court held that habeas corpus was not available to Richards. We agree and affirm the trial court's order dismissing his petition.
