denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition challenging the computation
of his custody credits. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we
affirm.
Roberts contends that he is entitled to credit towards his federal sentence for
the time he served between February 22, 2000, and January 7, 2003. This court
reviews the district court’s denial of a habeas corpus petition de novo. See
Schleining v. Thomas, 642 F.3d 1242, 1246 (9th Cir. 2011). The district court
correctly found that Roberts was serving time on a state sentence during the
relevant time period, thereby precluding credit towards his federal sentence for the
same period. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b); United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329, 337
(1992).
AFFIRMED.
