Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Federal prisoner Felix Cordero 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, and we affirm.

Cordero contends that the Bureau of Prisons erred by declining to give him credit toward his federal sentence for the time he served in state custody before he was convicted and sentenced in federal court. The district court properly denied the petition because Cordero is not entitled to credit for time served for a separate state offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b); see also Taylor v. Reno, 164 F.3d 440, 444-45 (9th Cir.1998); Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1366-67 (9th Cir.1991).

AFFIRMED.
