UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MALAMIN JAGANA, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Now before the Court is defendant Malamin Jagana's motion seeking a recommendation for 12 months' community corrections center placement. ECF No. 101. The Government takes no position on the motion. Jagana concedes that the Court lacks jurisdiction to compel the Bureau of Prisons to make such a placement. See id. at 2 n.2 (quoting United States v. Pineyro, 112 F.3d 43, 45 (2d Cir. 1997)).
The Court declines to make a recommendation on this issue one way or the other, leaving the Bureau of Prisons free to make such a placement or not, in its discretion. Dated: New York, NY
