APPEAL FROM THE SULLIVAN CIRCUIT COURT The Honorable P.J. Pierson, Judge Cause No. 77C01-0906-FC-95 March 10, 2010 MEMORANDUM DECISION - NOT FOR PUBLICATION

MAY, Judge

Fred E. Wall1 obtained a high school diploma while in prison, but was apparently denied credit time in the form of a reduction in the length of his imprisonment. His diploma came from the Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School. Wall followed the

Department of Correction (DOC) grievance procedure but was told Cornerstone was not recognized by the DOC. On May 12, 2009, after that decision, Walls commenced a "classification appeal" with DOC, asserting he had obtained his high school diploma and asking that his status be changed from not having a high school diploma to having one. (App. at 9a.) A handwritten response on the classification appeal form reads: "Your Classification Designation has been updated to reflect the change in education code." (Id.) A DOC document captioned "Report of Classification Hearing" has an entry "Earliest projected release date" showing "01-292019" and another entry, "projected activation date" showing "02-28-2018." (Id. at 9c.) Ind. Code
