RECOMMENDATION

ORDER GRANTING PETITION

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT FOR PETITIONER

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a petition for writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On March 5, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued a Findings and Recommendation that

recommended the petition be GRANTED and Respondent be ORDERED to consider the

appropriateness of transferring Petitioner to a residential re-entry center (“RRC”) in light of the

factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. §§ 3621(b), not excluding any other factors deemed appropriate by the

BOP, without reference to the BOP policy promulgated in December 2002 and without reference to

the BOP’s February 14, 2005, amendment to 28 C.F.R. § 570.21. The Magistrate Judge

recommended Respondent be DIRECTED to make this determination within 14 days of the date of

the Court’s order.

promulgated in December 2002 and without reference to the BOP’s February 14, 2005, amendment
