RICHARD DOUGLAS CRAVERO,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
R. D. MILES,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:03-CV-84-HC-WCR
--------------------
Before GARZA, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Richard Douglas Cravero, federal prisoner # 34117-019,
appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition. He asserts that the Bureau of Prisons has improperly
calculated his sentence by not giving him federal credit for
twelve years that he spent in state custody following his
sentencing for his federal drug conviction, in contravention of
the intent of the sentencing judge that he receive credit for
that time. Cravero has not established that the district court

clearly erred in finding that the sentencing judge did not
request that the federal sentence run concurrently with the state
sentences and that as a result Cravero was not entitled to the
credit in question. See United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329,
31-32, 334 (1992); Royal v. Tombone, 141 F.3d 596, 599 (5th Cir.
1998). The judgment of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
