On remand, the Ninth Circuit’s holding was both clear and directly on point: “\Balisok1 forecloses Gotcher’s entire compensatory claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 [and] we [therefore] do not reach the issue of whether Gotcher has a protectable liberty interest in ... remaining free of disciplinary segregation.” Gotcher v.

The Court has reconsidered its holding in Gotcher v. Wood, 66 F.3d 1097 (9th Cir.1995), in light of Edwards v. Balisok, — U.S. -, 117 S.Ct. 1584, 137 L.Ed.2d 906 (1997). We agree with Wood that Edwards forecloses Gotcher’s entire compensatory claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Because we do not reach the issue of whether Gotcher has a protectable liberty interest in receiving good-time credits or remaining free of disciplinary segregation, we deny Gotcher’s request to republish parts of our earlier decision. The district court’s dismissal of Gotcher’s claim is

AFFIRMED.
