MEMORANDUM**

Sunny Gin was convicted of failure to surrender for service of sentence in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 3146(a)(2). He was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment, a year of supervised release, 100 hours of community service, and fined $20,000.00. He appeals on several grounds. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.

A person convicted and sentenced for a felony punishable by imprisonment for a term of less than five years who fails to surrender for service of sentence commits another felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than two years and/or a fine. 18 U.S.C. § 3146(b)(1)(A)(iii). In 1987, Defendant Gin was convicted of making a false statement in a credit application in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1014, an offense which then carried a maximum prison term of two years.1 Upon sentencing, the court released Gin with an order to surrender himself into custody three weeks later. He absconded. He was arrested in 1990 and received the instant sentence. This sentence complies with 18 U.S.C. § 3146(b)(1)(A)(iii). We therefore conclude that the eighteen-month imprisonment term was well within the discretion of the district court judge.

Gin also argues that the fine is improper because the district court failed to make a specific finding that he could pay the fine. This argument was not raised before the district court. We recently refused to hear a similar claim of an improper fine where this issue was raised for the first time on appeal. United States v. Mondello, 927 F.2d 1463, 1468 (9th Cir.1991). We similarly refuse to consider Gin's claim that the fine was improper.

Gin further argues that he should receive prison credit for the two weeks he was released after completing the initial six months of his incarceration. We refuse to grant two weeks credit which can only be given for time served. 18 U.S.C. § 3568; Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1368 (9th Cir.1991).

The district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
