Respondent-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Louisiana

USDC No. 1:15-CV-177

Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

Frederick L. Bodison, federal prisoner # 56614-018, filed a petition under 

28 U.S.C. § 2241 asserting that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) abused its 

discretion in denying him credit against his federal sentence for the time he 

served in state custody from October 15, 2011, through March 13, 2012. The 

district court determined that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b), Bodison was 

not entitled to any credit for the period running from October 15, 2011, through 

 

* 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.

March 13, 2012, because he had received credit for that time against his state 

sentence. We review the district court’s legal conclusions de novo and its 

factual findings for clear error. Free v. Miles, 333 F.3d 550, 552 (5th Cir. 2003).

A defendant is to be given credit toward his term of federal imprisonment 

for any time he spent in official detention prior to the commencement of his 

sentence “that has not been credited against another sentence” and that was 

the result of either his federal offense or any other charge for which the 

defendant was arrested after the commission of his federal offense. § 3585(b). 

There was no error in denying Bodison credit for time he spent in the Orange 

County jail from his arrest on October 15, 2011, through the completion of his 

six-month state sentence on March 13, 2012. See Leal v. Tombone, 341 F.3d 

427, 430 (5th Cir. 2003). 

AFFIRMED.
