IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Plaintiff,

 v.

 ROYRICK MILLER,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 06-01572 CRB

 CR-04-0147 CRB

ORDER DISMISSING SECTION 2255

PETITION

Now pending before the Court is defendant Royrick Miller’s pro se petition pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. section 2255. Miller contends that the Federal Bureau of Prisons did not give

him credit for all the time he spent in federal custody prior to his sentencing. A claim for

credit against a federal sentence for time spent in custody prior to sentencing cannot be raised

under 28 U.S.C. section 2255. United States v. Espinoza, 866 F.2d 1067, 1071 (9th Cir.

1988). “Such a claim challenges the Attorney General’s execution of sentence rather than the

district court’s imposition; a § 2255 petition can test only the propriety of the sentence

imposed, not the manner of execution.” Id. Accordingly, Miller’s section 2255 petition is

DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 2, 2006
