Walker v. Kastner

PER CURIAM: * John Dee Walker, federal inmate #23826-077, has filed a motion in this court to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. Walker has also filed two motions seeking leave to file supplemental briefs on appeal; those two motions are denied. Walker’s claim that 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b) required the Bureau of Prisons to award him 54 days of credit, in advance, for each year of imprisonment that the district court imposed is foreclosed. See Moreland v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, 431 F.3d 180, 186 (5th Cir.2005), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 126 S.Ct. 1906, 164 L.Ed.2d 583 (2006). Moreover, Walker’s contention that the application of its interpretation of § 3624(b) to him violates the Ex Post Facto Clause is without merit. As he admits, the Bureau of Prisons has applied § 3624(b)(1) consistently since before Walker was sentenced. IFP DENIED; LEAVE TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFS DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Footnotes [*] Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
