Jose TORRES-HURTADO, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Rafael ZUNIGA, Respondent-Appellee, 707 F. App'x 913

MEMORANDUM Federal prisoner Jose Torres-Hurtado appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the dismissal of a

section 2241 petition, see Alaimalo v. United States, 645 F.3d 1042, 1047 (9th Cir. 2011), and we affirm. Torres-Hurtado’s

section 2241 petition alleged that the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) failed to effectuate the district court’s decision to run his 240-month sentence concurrent to a 77-month sentence imposed three years earlier. As noted by the district court, Torres-Hurtado unsuccessfully raised this argument in a

section 2241 petition filed in-the Northern District of West Virginia. That court denied his claim on the merits after concluding that the BOP correctly calculated Torres-Hur-tado’s sentence. Torres-Hurtado’s second

section 2241 petition raising this claim was dismissed as successive and an abuse of the writ. In light of this record, the district court correctly concluded that the instant

section 2241 petition is barred by 28 U.S.C. § 2244(

a) and the abuse of the writ doctrine. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(a); Alaimalo, 645 F.3d at 1049 (abuse of the writ doctrine “generally forbids the reconsideration of claims that were or could have been raised in a prior habeas petition” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Furthermore, Torres-Hurtado has not shown cause for bringing a successive petition, or that a fundamental miscarriage of justice will result from the failure to entertain his claim. See McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 494-95, 111 S.Ct. 1454, 113 L.Ed.2d 517 (1991). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
