PER CURIAM Jarrett Vann pled guilty to possession of sexually exploitative material. Idaho Code §§ 18-1507(2), 18-1507A. The district court sentenced Vann to a unified term of ten years with three years determinate. Several years later, Vann filed a motion for credit for time served for time he spent in federal custody on an unrelated case while he was on parole in this case. The district court denied the motion and Vann subsequently filed a motion to reconsider the denial of his motion for credit for time served, which the district court also denied. Vann appeals asserting that the district court erred by denying his motion to reconsider the denial of his motion for credit for time served.

In computing a term of imprisonment, the defendant shall receive credit for any period of incarceration prior to entry of judgment, if such incarceration was for the offense or an included offense for which the judgment was entered. I.C. § 18-309(1). Idaho Code § 20-228 authorizes the parole commission to exercise discretion to credit time spent on parole when calculating the remaining period of confinement after parole is revoked. Therefore, as Vann acknowledges, a motion for credit for time served is not the appropriate vehicle for challenging the Department of Correction’s calculation of time served. Mickelsen v. Idaho State Correctional Inst., 131 Idaho 352, 355, 955 P.2d 1131, 1134 (Ct. App. 1988). The district court correctly denied Vann’s motion to reconsider the denial of his motion for credit for time served. The district court’s order denying Vann’s motion to reconsider the denial of the motion for credit for time served is affirmed.
