PER CURIAM:
Lateef Fisher appeals the district court’s order denying his motion challenging the
amount of his monthly restitution payment. The amount of Fisher’s monthly restitution
payment is administered by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). We have held that “an inmate’s
challenge to the BOP’s administration of the [Inmate Financial Responsibility Program] is
a challenge to the ‘execution’ of a sentence” and that “attacks on the execution of a sentence
are properly raised in a [28 U.S.C.]§ 2241 petition.” Fontanez v. O’Brien, 807 F.3d 84, 87
(4th Cir. 2015). Fisher failed to properly raise his challenge in a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition.
Further, he did not demonstrate that he pursued an administrative remedy with the BOP.∗
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the order of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
∗ To the extent Fisher challenged the imposition of the restitution, he did not raise
the claim in his initial motion, and such a challenge should have been properly addressed
on direct appeal.
