OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Ronald Boyd appeals the district court's order denying his motion
to correct an illegal sentence under Fed. R. Crim. P. 36. We affirm
substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See United States
v. Boyd, No. CR-97-417-A (E.D. Va. Dec. 15, 1999). To the extent
that Boyd challenged his sentence, his motion should have been con-
strued under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000). Even if Boyd's
motion were construed as a § 2255 motion, however, it would be
untimely filed. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255(1). To the extent that Boyd
challenged his sentence as executed, his motion should have been
construed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). Even if Boyd's filing was
construed as a § 2241 motion, however, we find he is not entitled to
relief. Boyd's claim that he should receive credit towards his federal
sentence for time served in a federal facility is not properly before us
because Boyd has not yet begun to serve that sentence. As for the
remainder of Boyd's claims that should be asserted under § 2241, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process. We deny Boyd's "Mo-
tion for Expedited Appeal" as moot.

AFFIRMED
