UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON WHITE,

Petitioner,

v.

PAUL COPENHAVER, warden,

Respondent. /

No. 09-3236 SI (pr)

ORDER DENYING

RECONSIDERATION REQUEST

Shannon White, a prisoner at the satellite prison camp of FCI-Dublin, filed a petition for

a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging the execution of her sentence. The

court dismissed it without prejudice to her filing a new action after exhausting Bureau of Prisons

administrative remedies. The court rejected her argument that the exhaustion requirement should

be waived because it would be a futile endeavor. She now moves for a rehearing, and in support

of that motion presents statements from other inmates who heard the same statements she heard

that made her feel that the administrative appeal process would be futile. The motion for

rehearing is DENIED. (Docket # 8.) The court did not reject her argument in her original

petition because the court thought she wasn't truthful in reciting what she heard, but instead

because what she reportedly heard (i.e., a statement by a prison administrator at a town hall that

the requests would be rejected) did not establish that pursuit of administrative appeals would be

an exercise in futility. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
