Challenge to Denial of Sentencing Credit by Bureau of Prisons
In Hunter v. Tamez, No. 09-11026, a 28 U.S.C. section 2241 application challenging the decision of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to deny petitioner credit, through a nunc pro tunc order, against his federal sentence for time served in Texas state custody on unrelated state convictions, the court denied the application where 1) the BOP need not give effect to the state sentencing court’s direction that petitioner’s term of imprisonment on his state conviction run concurrently with his already-imposed term of imprisonment on his federal conviction; and 2) the BOP’s order did not violate separation of powers.
