UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. HEATHER LYNN GANTT, Defendant-Appellant
Defendant-Appellant Heather Lynn Gantt, federal prisoner # 00535-380, appeals the denial of her motion for concurrent sentencing. Her claims pertain to the manner in which her federal sentence was calculated and is being enforced, so they arise under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Pack v. Yusuff, 218 F.3d 448, 451 (5th Cir. 2000). Gantt is not incarcerated in the Western District of Texas, so the district court lacked jurisdiction over any of her § 2241 claims. See id. The district court's order is AFFIRMED.
