UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-11931-GAO WILLIAM ROBINSON, Petitioner, v. MCI CEDAR JUNCTION, Respondent. OPINION AND ORDER September 3, 2013 O TOOLE, D.J. For the reasons set forth in the respondent s supporting memorandum, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED. A federal habeas court may not review purely state law determinations, such as the computation of jail credits for state prisoners. See Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67-68 (1991); Kater v. Maloney, 459 F.3d 56, 61 (1st Cir. 2006); Travis v. Lockhart, 925 F.2d 1095, 1097 (8th Cir. 1991). Moreover, it appears from the record that the petitioner has not exhausted available state court remedies, which is a prerequisite to a federal habeas petition. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 2254(b), (c). The petition is DISMISSED. It is SO ORDERED. /s/ George A. O Toole, Jr. United States District Judge
