Kamal K. PATEL, Appellant, v. Linda SANDERS, Warden, FCI, Forrest City, AR, Appellee, 180 F. App'x 607

[UNPUBLISHED] PER CURIAM. Federal inmate Kamal K. Patel appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, in which he challenged the method by which the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) calculated his good-conduct time under 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b)(1). We reject Patel’s arguments. See Bernitt v. Martinez, 432 F.3d 868, 869 (8th Cir.2005) (per curiam) (§ 3624(

b) is ambiguous and BOP’s calculation of good-conduct time, based on time actually served, is reasonable

interpretation of § 3624(b); court will not resort to rule of lenity when ambiguity of statute can be otherwise resolved); Perez-Olivo v. Chavez, 394 F.3d 45, 47, 52 n. 6 (1st Cir.2005) (BOP’s time-served

interpretation, embodied in 28 C.F.R. § 523.20, was adopted pursuant to notice-and-comment procedure and is entitled to deference). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. We also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and deny as moot Patel’s motion to transfer. . The Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
