MEMORANDUM **
Darnell Moon appeals the district courts orders denying without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petitions. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Reviewing de novo, see Alaimalo v. United States, 645 F.3d 1042, 1047 (9th Cir. 2011), we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Moons petitions for lack of jurisdiction, because for “core habeas petitioners challenging present physical confinement, jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of confinement.” Moon v. Salazar, 3:20-cv-00033-JE (D. Or. Feb. 13, 2020) (quoting Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 433, 124 S.Ct. 2711, 159 L.Ed.2d 513 (2004))

. Moon was incarcerated in Illinois, but filed his petitions in the District of Oregon, where he had previously been incarcerated and where his good-time credits were revoked.
Moon argues that a challenge to the improper revocation of good-time credit is not a challenge to “present physical confinement.” We disagree. Good-time credit impacts the duration of confinement, and therefore is a “core” habeas challenge to present physical confinement under Padilla, 542 U.S. at 433, 124 S.Ct. 2711; cf. Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74, 79, 81–82, 125 S.Ct. 1242, 161 L.Ed.2d 253 (2005) (describing an action seeking to restore good-time credit as within the “core” of habeas, since it impacts the duration of confinement). Similarly, the proper respondent—the individual with the power to “produce the body,” Wales v. Whitney, 114 U.S. 564, 574, 5 S.Ct. 1050, 29 L.Ed. 277 (1885)—is the warden of Moons current prison.
AFFIRMED.
