GLASSMAN, Justice.

Richard Rogers appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court, Knox County, denying his petition for post-conviction relief, pursuant to 15 M.R.S.A. §§ 2121-2132 (Supp.1986), challenging his restraint on the ground that a sentence of imprisonment imposed on him in 1978 was illegally modified by the Department of the Attorney General and Maine State Prison officials. We agree with Rogers' contention and vacate the judgment.
