    Scribd Government Docs
    Leroy Scott Jr., a federal prisoner, appealed the district court's denial of his habeas corpus petition challenging his sentence calculation. The district court had accepted the magistrate's recommendation to deny the petition. The Fourth Circuit affirmed, finding no reversible error in the district court's reasoning. The Fourth Circuit also held that the Bureau of Prisons' method of calculating good time credits, which was being challenged, was a reasonable interpretation of federal law and entitled to deference.
