Michael West v. Marion Feather
Michael West v. Marion Feather
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Federal prisoner Michael West appeals from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s denial of a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition, see Mora-Meraz v. Thomas, 601 F.3d 933, 939 (9th Cir. 2010), and we affirm.
West contends that the Bureau of Prisons was obligated to credit him for time served in custody prior to September 6, 2006, because he overserved his state sentence. We disagree. The record reflects that West’s state sentence terminated on September 6, 2006, and this court’s case law supports use of that date as the commencement date of his federal sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(a); Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1364-67 (9th Cir. 1991). Nothing in the record of West’s sentencing in the case under review requires a different conclusion; thus, the district court properly denied his petition.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
