United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Leonard Dwayne Hill, Defendant.

Leonard Dwayne Hill, pro se.


Leonard Dwayne Hill, pro se.

ORDER

ANN D. MONTGOMERY, JUDGE

This matter is before the undersigned United States District Judge for a ruling on Defendant Leonard Dwayne Hill's (“Hill”) second pro se Motion for Compassionate Release [Docket No. 243] and pro se Motion to Reconsider Granting Compassionate Release [Docket No. 251]. Hill's first Motion for Compassionate Release [Docket No. 223] was denied in June 2020. See Mem. Op. Order [Docket No. 224].

In the current motions, Hill argues he has invented a cure for COVID-19 that will end the pandemic, and that these circumstances constitute extraordinary and compelling reasons for his release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Although Hill may be sincere in his belief that he has invented a cure for COVID-19, the belief is not based in reality and does not constitute an extraordinary and compelling reason for his release.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motions are DENIED.
