MICHAEL WEST, Petitioner - Appellant, v. MARION FEATHER, Respondent - Appellee.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Oregon
Anna J. Brown, District Judge, Presiding
Before: RAWLINSON, N.R. SMITH, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
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.
