On May 10, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations

recommending that the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus be granted and Respondent be

directed consider the appropriateness of transferring Petitioner to an 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. Respondent was directed to make

this determination within fourteen days. (Court Doc. 9.) 

On May 14, 2007, Respondent filed a notice of verification of compliance with the

Court’s May 10, 2007, order. (Court Doc. 9.) Respondent submits a form entitled “Institutional

Corrections Policies.” Attachment 1, Court Doc. 10. As a result of this evaluation, it was

recommended that Petitioner spend 150-180 days in an RRC prior to his release. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The petition for writ of habeas corpus is GRANTED; and

2. As Respondent has already given Plaintiff the requested relief, the Clerk of Court

shall enter judgment in favor of Petitioner and close the case. No further action

by Respondent is required.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
