MEMORANDUM *
H. A. RIOS,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Sandra M. Snyder, Magistrate Judge, Presiding **
Submitted March 8, 2011 ***
Before: FARRIS, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
Federal prisoner Felix Cordero appeals pro se from the district court’s
judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge.
***
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Cordero contends that the Bureau of Prisons erred by declining to give him
credit toward his federal sentence for the time he served in state custody before he
was convicted and sentenced in federal court. The district court properly denied
the petition because Cordero is not entitled to credit for time served for a separate
state offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b); see also Taylor v. Reno, 164 F.3d 440,
444-45 (9th Cir. 1998); Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1366-67 (9th Cir.
1991).
AFFIRMED.
