ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO ENTER JUDGMENT AND CLOSE CASE

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

Petitioner is currently in custody of the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) at the Federal Prison

Camp in Atwater, California, pursuant to a judgment of the United States District Court.

On November 27, 2006, Petitioner filed the instant federal petition for writ of habeas corpus

in this Court. Petitioner claimed the BOP unlawfully denyied him consideration for placement into a

Residential Re-entry Center (“RRC”). 

On December 21, 2006, the District Court granted the petition and ordered Respondent to

consider the appropriateness of transferring Petitioner to an RRC in light of the factors set forth in

§ 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 ordered to make said determination within

fourteen (14) days of the date of the Order.

On January 18, 2007, Respondent filed a motion to stay the order granting the petition.

Respondent’s motion was granted on February 12, 2007, and the order was stayed until

September 19, 2007. 

On December 20, 2007, the Court ordered Respondent to file a notice of verification of

compliance. Respondent did so on January 11, 2008. According to Respondent’s verification,

Petitioner was evaluated on May 17, 2007, consistent with the Court’s Order. As a result of this

evaluation, the BOP has determined Petitioner is to spend “150-180 days in a Residential Re-entry

Center before his release.” See Attachment to Respondent’s Verification. As Respondent has

complied with the Court’s Order and granted Petitioner the relief sought, the case is now closed.

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter

judgment and close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
