Before WOLLMAN, McMILLIAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________
PER CURIAM.

       Arkansas inmate Corey Sanders appeals the district court’s pre-service
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim. Initially, we
grant Sanders in forma pauperis status and leave the collection details to the district
court. See Henderson v. Norris, 

, 485 (8th Cir. 1997) (per curiam).

       Sanders alleged that he was found guilty of violating the prison’s drug policy,
after which his class status was reduced, he lost his prison job, and he was placed in
punitive isolation for thirty days. The disciplinary conviction was later reversed. We
agree with the district court that these allegations cannot form the basis for section
1983 relief. See Cooper v. Schriro, 

, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam)
(standard of review). Sanders does not have a constitutional right to a particular
prison job or classification. See Lomholt v. Holder, 

, 684 (8th Cir.
2002) (per curiam) (prisoners do not have a constitutional right to a particular prison
job); Hartsfield v. Dep’t of Corr., 107 Fed. Appx. 695, 696 (8th Cir. 2003)
(unpublished per curiam) (no liberty interests in particular classification). Any
violation of his due process rights in connection with the disciplinary conviction was
vindicated by the reversal of the conviction. See Wycoff v. Nichols, 

,
1189 (8th Cir. 1996) (subsequent rehearing and reversal of prison disciplinary
decision rectified denial of due process).

       Sanders also alleged, however, that he had been transferred from the Cummins
Unit, where he enjoyed many privileges, to the Maximum Security Unit at the Tucker,
Arkansas facility. He alleged that he continued to be held in this unit, even though
his disciplinary conviction had been reversed. The Supreme Court recently clarified
that, in certain circumstances, an inmate transferred to and held indefinitely in a
maximum security environment may enjoy certain due process protections. See
Wilkinson v. Austin, 

(2005). Because Sanders’s complaint was
dismissed pre-service, we do not know the precise nature and duration of Sanders’s


                                         -2-
confinement, and thus we cannot tell whether his situation is comparable to that of
the inmates in Wilkinson and whether he may have a viable due process claim.
Accordingly, we reverse as to this claim only, affirm in all other respects, and remand
to the district court for further proceedings.
