PER CURIAM.

James Mitchell appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 1

petition. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

The Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern 1

District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent

of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

Appellate Case: 15-3478 Page: 1 Date Filed: 06/10/2016 Entry ID: 4410615 
Following a de novo review of the record and careful consideration of

Mitchell’s arguments for reversal, this court concludes that Mitchell is not entitled

to relief. See Hill v. Morrison, 349 F.3d 1089, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003) (de novo review

of § 2241 petitions). The district court did not order concurrent sentences and the

Bureau of Prisons did not err in denying Mitchell’s request for nunc pro tunc

designation. See 18 U.S.C. § 3584(a) (unless court orders otherwise, multiple

sentences imposed at different timesrun consecutively); 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b) (listing

factors BOP must consider in designating place of prisoner’s imprisonment); Elwell

v. Fisher, 716 F.3d 477, 485-86 (8th Cir. 2013) (BOP’s denial of nunc pro tunc

designation is reviewed for abuse of discretion). 

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
