1Opinion of the Court
BEEZER, Circuit Judge.
Sabil Mujahid appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus, challenging the Bureau of Prisons’ (“BOP” or “Bureau”) interpretation of the maximum good time credit a federal prisoner can receive under 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b). Mujahid asserts that the Bureau’s interpretation, which allows a prisoner serving a ten-year sentence to earn a maximum of 470 days credit, contradicts the statute’s stated allowance of 54 days of credit per year. We affirm.
