v.
LUKE D. BRUGNARA, MEMORANDUM*
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California
William Alsup, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted February 4, 2020**
Before: FERNANDEZ, SILVERMAN, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
Federal prisoner Luke D. Brugnara appeals pro se from the district court’s
order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition.
By our order of June 27, 2019, this appeal is limited to the narrow issue of “the
district court’s denial of the claims challenging actions of the Bureau of Prisons in

connection with disciplinary proceedings and calculation of good time credit”
under section 2241. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we may
affirm on any basis supported by the record. See Bonin v. Calderon, 59 F.3d 815,
823 (9th Cir. 1995). Reviewing de novo, see Lane v. Swain, 910 F.3d 1293, 1295
(9th Cir. 2018), cert. denied, 140 S. Ct. 60 (2019), we affirm.
The record reflects that Brugnara was not housed in the Northern District of
California when he filed his petition. Because petitions brought under section
2241 must be heard in the defendant’s custodial court, the district court lacked
jurisdiction to consider Brugnara’s claims arising under § 2241. See Hernandez v.
Campbell, 204 F.3d 861, 864-65 (9th Cir. 2000). We, therefore, affirm the denial
of relief.
Brugnara also contends on appeal that the Bureau of Prisons has violated the
First Step Act in a number of respects in relation to his sentence. These claims are
not properly before this court because Brugnara failed to raise them in the district
court until after issuance of the only order on appeal here. See Smith v. Marsh, 194
F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999).
All pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
