Text: Under § 3585(b), Edison would not be entitled to pre-sentence credit towards his federal sentence for the 886-day time period from December 8, 1994 to May 11, 1997 (the date of his arrest in Chicago until the date before he was sentenced in Illinois state court), because the time had previously been credited towards his state sentence. Pursuant to the Willis exception, however, Edison would be entitled to the credit because: (1) the time is prior to his federal sentence on December 8, 1997; (2) during the relevant time period he was in state custody; and (3) the relevant time period occurred after May 18, 1993, the date of his federal offense, and before May 12, 1997, the date that his first 4 BOP Program Statements are available at http://www.bop.gov, via the “Policy/Forms” link. 6 No. 08-10314 sentence (in this case, state) began. See BOP Program Statement 5880.28, at p. 1 - 22. For the same reasons as noted above, however, Edison is not entitled to credit for the time served pursuant to the sentencing court’s commitment and order. Accordingly, the magistrate and district courts correctly concluded that the BOP did not err in denying Edison pre-sentence credit for the time period from December 8, 1994 to May 11, 1997.
