OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Roger Dean Fischer, a federal prisoner incarcerated in Maryland,
filed this action in the Northern District of West Virginia, alleging
that he was not given proper credit for time served. Issues regarding
sentencing credit for time served are within the jurisdiction of the
Bureau of Prisons, and review of such decisions should be filed pur-
suant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) in the district court having jurisdic-
tion over the place where the prisoner is incarcerated. See United
States v. Wilson, 503 U.S. 329 (1992). In the interest of justice, we
vacate the order of the district court, United States v. Fischer, No.
CR-92-68 (N.D.W. Va. July 2, 1996), and remand with instructions
to transfer the case to the appropriate district court. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
