NORWOOD v. IVES (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Federal prisoner Edward Norwood appeals pro se 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 section 2241 habeas petition, see Bowen v. Hood, 202 F.3d 1211, 1218 (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.

Norwood argues that he is entitled to credit toward his federal sentence for the time spent in custody between April 17, 2014, and October 30, 2015. Under 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b), a defendant cannot receive “double credit”—that is, credit going towards two separate sentences—for time spent in presentence custody. See United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329, 337, 112 S.Ct. 1351, 117 L.Ed.2d 593 (1992). Because the record reflects that the state of California credited this time towards Norwood’s prior state sentence, he is not entitled to credit this period towards his federal sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b).

AFFIRMED.
