PER CURIAM:

       Michael Anthony Dilworth appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint.                                    Dilworth’s

complaint       challenged           a    prison          disciplinary      conviction       that

resulted     in    the        loss       of     good       time    credits,       alleged    that

Defendant Freeman violated his rights under the First Amendment,

and sought damages and injunctive relief.                              Dilworth confines his

appeal     to     the     dismissal            of        his   challenge     to    his      prison

disciplinary conviction.

       The district court properly dismissed the claim because it

was not cognizable under § 1983 in the absence of a showing that

the disciplinary conviction supporting the revocation of good

time    credits     has       been       overturned.            See    Edwards     v.    Balisok,

, 645-46 (1997); Heck v. Humphrey, 

,

486-87 (1994); Harvey v. Horan, 

, 375 (4th Cir.

2002)     (applying        Heck          to      claims        for     injunctive        relief),

abrogated on other grounds by Skinner v. Switzer, 

(2011).         A prisoner may challenge the revocation of good

time credits only by way of habeas corpus.                                   See Preiser v.

Rodriguez, 

, 500 (1973).                           Accordingly, we modify the

district court’s order to reflect that Dilworth’s challenge to

the     revocation       of     good          time       credits      is   dismissed     without

prejudice to his right to reassert his challenge in a habeas

action    and     affirm       the       order       as    modified.        See    Dilworth    v.

                                                     2
Corpening, No. 1:15-cv-00036-FDW (W.D.N.C. May 29, 2015).                 We

dispense   with     oral   argument   because     the    facts   and   legal

contentions   are   adequately   presented   in    the   materials     before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
