PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Michael Carmie Antonelli appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal

of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he had challenged the method by which the

Bureau of Prisons (BOP) calculated his good-conduct time under 18 U.S.C.

§ 3624(b)(1). We reject Antonelli’s arguments. See Bernitt v. Martinez, 432 F.3d

868, 869 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (§ 3624(b) is ambiguous and BOP’s calculation

of good-conduct time, based on time actually served, is reasonable interpretation of

§ 3624(b); court will not resort to rule of lenity when ambiguity of statute can be

otherwise resolved).

We agree with the district court that Antonelli’s motion for a stay of transfer is

moot, and we decline his suggestion to construe that motion as an amendment to his

petition.

Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is affirmed.
