Jim Harris, Appellant Pro Se.

Andrew T. Bailey and Stephen D. Hawke, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.

Before Division Three: Karen King Mitchell, Presiding Judge, Victor C. Howard, Judge and Gary D. Witt, Judge

Gary D. Witt, Judge

Jim Harris, Jr. ("Harris") appeals from a judgment granting Warden Ian Wallace's ("DOC") summary judgment motion, finding that the Missouri Department of Corrections correctly calculated and awarded Harris jail time credit. Harris argues that he should have been awarded an additional 772 days of jail time credit for time he spent in the U.S. Marshal's custody. We dismiss Harris's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Harris acknowledged he had already received 103 days of jail time credit but...
