Tyronne Benard COOPER, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Warden Edward PEREZ, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 04-41482.
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Aug. 16, 2005.
    Tyronne Benard Cooper, Three Rivers, TX, pro se.
    Kathlyn Giannaula Snyder, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Respondent-Appellee.
    Before BENAVIDES, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Tyronne Benard Cooper, federal prisoner # 09210-035, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition on summary judgment. Cooper contends that the district court erred by not ordering the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to award credit for that portion of Cooper’s state sentence that was served prior to the imposition of his federal sentence.

The Attorney General, through the BOP, determines what credit, if any, will be awarded to prisoners for time spent in custody prior to the commencement of their sentences. See United States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329, 331-32, 334, 112 S.Ct. 1351, 117 L.Ed.2d 593 (1992). The BOP correctly determined under 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b) that it may not award Cooper credit toward his term of imprisonment for any time he spent in official detention pri- or to the commencement of his sentence that was credited against another sentence.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
