N o w pending before the Court is defendant Royrick Miller's pro se petition pursuant t o 28 U.S.C. section 2255. Miller contends that the Federal Bureau of Prisons did not give h i m credit for all the time he spent in federal custody prior to his sentencing. A claim for c r e d i t against a federal sentence for time spent in custody prior to sentencing cannot be raised und er 28 U.S.C. section 2255. United States v. Espinoza, 866 F.2d 1067, 1071 (9th Cir. 1 9 8 8 ) . "Such a claim challenges the Attorney General's execution of sentence rather than the d i s tr i c t court's imposition; a § 2255 petition can test only the propriety of the sentence i m p o s e d , not the manner of execution." Id. Accordingly, Miller's section 2255 petition is D I S M I S SE D . I T IS SO ORDERED.
