SILVAS RODRIGUEZ v. APKER (2019)

MEMORANDUM ***

Federal prisoner Herber Martin Silvas-Rodriguez appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the denial of a section 2241 petition, see Schleining v. Thomas, 642 F.3d 1242, 1246 (9th Cir. 2011), and we affirm.

Silvas-Rodriguez was arrested by state authorities on May 21, 2012, to face state charges. On February 5, 2013, he was transferred to federal custody to face federal charges pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. After the federal court imposed his sentence on January 9, 2014, Silvas-Rodriguez was returned to state custody on January 28, 2014. Silvas-Rodriguez argues that he should receive credit towards his federal sentence for the time period that he was in federal custody between February 2013 and January 2014. Contrary to his argument, however, the record reflects that Silvas-Rodriguez remained in primary state custody during this time period. See id. at 1243 n.1. Moreover, because Silvas-Rodriguez received credit against his state sentence for this time period, he is not entitled to any additional federal credit. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b); United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329, 337, 112 S.Ct. 1351, 117 L.Ed.2d 593 (1992) (defendant may not receive “double credit for his detention time”). Finally, Silvas-Rodriguez’s federal sentence commenced on June 9, 2014, the date he was taken into federal custody to commence service of his federal sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(a). Contrary to Silvas-Rodriguez’s contention, his federal sentence cannot be backdated prior to this date. See Schleining, 642 F.3d at 1247-48.

In light of this disposition, we do not reach the parties’ remaining arguments.

Appellee’s request for judicial notice is granted.

AFFIRMED.
