NOT FOR PUBLICATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Calvin James,

Petitioner,

v. 

Bureau of Prisons, et al.,

Respondents.

No. CV-19-04842-PHX-SRB

ORDER 

Petitioner Calvin James filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 2241 on July 26, 2019 raising one ground for relief: that the Bureau of Prisons 

“erroneously denied him eligibility for early release, as he was ‘grandfathered in’ to the oneyear sentence credit under the Ninth Circuit’s decisions in Arrington and Crickon.”(Doc. 14 

at 3.) Respondents filed their Response to Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 

on October 23, 2019. No reply was filed. On February 12, 2020, the Magistrate Judge issued 

his Report and Recommendation recommending that the petition be denied and dismissed 

with prejudice because the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction and, alternatively, that 

Petitioner is not entitled to the relief he seeks.

In his Report and Recommendation the Magistrate Judge advised the parties that 

they had fourteen days from the date of service of a copy of the Report and Recommendation 

within which to file specific written objections with the Court. The time to file such 

objections has expired and no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.

The Court finds itself in agreement with the Report and Recommendation of the
