I. Discussion 

In this § 2241 habeas action, Petitioner argues that the BOP did not correctly 

compute the commencement date of his federal sentence as it was stated by his 

sentencing judge in the Eastern District of Tennessee. Doc. 1. He requests a 

sentence adjustment. 

Respondent concedes that the BOP originally miscalculated the 

commencement of Petitioner's sentence, and states that it has adjusted Petitioner's 

sentence "[t]o meet the intent of the Sentencing Court[.]" Doc. 6. 

Because Petitioner's requested relief is moot, the Court recommends that 

this habeas action be dismissed, with prejudice. 

II. Conclusion 

IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT the Petition for a Writ of 

Habeas Corpus be DENIED, AS MOOT, and this case be DISMISSED, WITH 

PREJUDICE. 

Dated this 1st day of April, 20 15.
