    v.
    JOE P YOUNG
    Repondent-Appellee
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Louisiana
    USDC No. 2:06-CV-688
    Before JONES, Chief Judge, and REAVLEY and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    John Paul Roth, federal prisoner # 76094-079, appeals the dismissal of his
    28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition. Roth is currently serving a 264-month
    prison sentence imposed by the Southern District of Texas for conspiracy to
    possess with intent to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to launder monetary
    instruments. The sentence was to run concurrently with a previously imposed
    Texas state sentence of 20 years in prison for possession of a controlled
    substance and possession of marijuana. Roth argues that the district court erred
    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
    should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
    circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    No. 07-30618
    in not properly applying U.S.S.G. § 5G1.3(b) to adjust his sentence and that the
    Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has not properly credited him with time served.
    Whether the district court should have reduced his sentence pursuant to
    § 5G1.3(b) is an issue that challenges the correctness of Roth’s sentence;
    therefore, Roth is not entitled to proceed under § 2241. See Jeffers v. Chandler,
    
    253 F.3d 827
    , 830 (5th Cir. 2001). Roth is not entitled to relief on the remaining
    issues because he has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies through the
    BOP as required. See Rourke v. Thompson, 
    11 F.3d 47
    , 49 (5th Cir. 1993).
    AFFIRMED.
