Robert M. LEVINE, Petitioner-Appellant, v. S.A. HOLENCIK, Warden, Respondent-Appellee, 389 F. App'x 594

MEMORANDUM Robert M. Levine appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253, and we affirm. Levine contends the district court abused its discretion by disregarding Seventh Circuit law instructing that only the sentencing court can set the timing and

schedule of restitution payments during an inmate’s incarceration. This contention is unpersuasive. See Montano-Figueroa v. Crabtree, 162 F.3d 548, 549-50 (9th Cir.1998) (per curiam) (“[W]e have previously upheld sentencing courts’ decisions to delegate the timing and manner of payments of court-ordered restitution.”); see also Int’l Chem. Workers Union Council v. NLRB, 467 F.3d 742, 748 n. 3 (9th Cir.2006) (out-of-circuit cases are not binding on this court).

Levine further contends that he was deprived of due process because he was compelled to participate in the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program (“IFRP”). This contention is unavailing. See United States v. Lemoine, 546 F.3d 1042, 1046 (9th Cir.2008) (rejecting petitioner’s argument that his participation in the IFRP was involuntary). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
