Mr. Mayberry remain at L4 status, determined that Mr. Mayberry should retroactively be demoted to LI status for disciplinary reasons and should suffer a consequent loss of good-time credits. The auditor removed those credits without notice, without a hearing, and without a disciplinary committee’s determination that Mr. Mayberry had committed an infraction, violating both state law and the procedures set forth in Waldon and Wolff. The district court erred in holding that Mr. Mayberry had no liberty interest in the good-time credits due to the auditor’s opinion that they were “mistakenly” earned, and must be reversed. Because the DOC removed the credits without notice or an opportunity for a hearing, it must restore the credits. See Brown v. Smith, 828 F.2d 1493, 1495 (10th Cir.1987) (<HOLDING>). The motion to proceed in forma pauperis in
