S.D. Ind., Terre Haute Div.

Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s habeas petition challenging Bureau of Prison's decision not to give defendant credit on his 51-month sentence on his federal offenses for time spent serving state sentence that occurred prior to his transfer to federal authorities to begin serving his federal sentence. Under 18 USC section 3585(b), defendant should be given credit for any time spent in custody prior to date federal sentence commenced if said time had not been credited to any other sentence, and record showed that said time had been credited to defendant’s state sentence so as to disqualify him for instant requested credit.
