Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided March 7, 2016No. 15-10283PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

Curtis Watson appeals the district court’s dismissal of his habeas corpus petition, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On appeal Mr. Watson reasserts the same three issues he raised in district court. *998He argues that he is being held illegally because (1) the Bureau of Prison miscalculated his sentence; (2) the BOP lacks the authority to recalculate his sentence; and (3) his sentence violates the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution.

Upon a review of the record and consideration of the parties’ briefs, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Mr. Watson’s § 2241 petition.
