ORDER
ROBERT J. CONRAD, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon motion of the defendant pro se for jail credit under the First Step Act of 2018. (Doc. No. 55).
It is the responsibility of the Attorney General, through the Bureau of Prisons, to compute jail credit. United States v. Stroud, 584 Fed.Appx. 159, 160 (4th Cir. 2014) (citing United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329, 334-35 (1992)). If a defendant is not given the sentencing credit he thinks he deserves, his recourse is first to seek an administrative remedy, 28 C.F.R. § 542.10, and after that to file a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in the district of confinement. Id.
The defendant is serving his sentence at Morganton-FCI in Morgantown, West Virginia. (Doc. No. 55: Motion at 1).
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that the defendant's pro se motion for jail credit, (Doc. No. 55), is DENIED.
The Clerk is directed to certify copies of this order to the defendant, the United States Attorney, the United States Marshals Service, and the United States Probation Office.
