438 F.2d 518, 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 11978

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided February 8, 1971·No. 30720·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from the district court’s denial of habeas corpus relief to a federal prisoner who is serving a sentence in the United States Penitentiary at Atlanta. He contends that he is entitled to be given credit on his present sentence for time which he served under a prior unrelated federal sentence which has been vacated.

We recently rejected a similar contention in Davis v. United States Attorney General, 5 Cir. 1970, 432 F.2d 777. On Authority of the Davis decision, the order appealed from in this case should be and is hereby affirmed.
