ORDER DISMISSING MOTION TO

ENFORCE JUDGMENT

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. Petitioner

was sentenced to serve 135 months in prison on May 7, 2004.

On November 30, 2006, Petitioner filed the instant federal petition for writ of habeas corpus

in this Court. Petitioner claimed the BOP is unlawfully denying him consideration for placement

into a Residential Re-entry Center (“RRC”). 

On January 19, 2007, the undersigned issued an order granting the petition and ordering

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,

U.S. District Court

 E. D. California cd 2

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, within six (6) months of the date of

service of this order. 

After six months passed, on July 30, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion to enforce the judgment.

On August 7, 2007, Respondent filed a notice of verification of compliance. Respondent states he

conducted the inquiry ordered by the Court on May 17, 2007. As proof, Respondent has submitted a

copy of the completed form entitled, “Institutional Referral for CCC Placement.” See Attached

Document to Respondent’s Notice. According to the form, Petitioner was evaluated on May 17,

2007, “without reference to the time constraints imposed by 28 CFR § 570.20-21 or the 2002 and

2005 Community Corrections Policies.” Id. As a result of this evaluation, the BOP has determined

Petitioner is to spend between 150 to 180 days in a Residential Re-entry Center before his release. Id. 

Because Petitioner has been granted the relief he requested, his motion to enforce the

judgment is now moot. 

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion to enforce judgment is DISMISSED as moot; and

2. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
