STEVEN BROADUS, Petitioner, v. AL ST. LAWRENCE, Respondent.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Steven Broadus, a pre-trial detainee held at the Chatham County Detention Center while awaiting prosecution for carjacking, see attached state court docket sheet, petitions this Court under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, doc. 1, and moves for leave to file it in forma pauperis (IFP). Doc. 4. Jailed for some 18 months, he is unhappy with the pace of that case and insists that the state is violating his speedy trial, due process, and other rights. Doc. 1 at 1-5. He thus wants this Court to order his immediate release. Id. at 5 ¶ 9.
The Court GRANTS his IFP motion (doc. 4) but concludes his petition must be dismissed. Pretrial § 2241 petitions must be exhausted. Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74, 79 2005) (all habeas corpus actions "require a petitioner to fully exhaust state remedies"); Thomas v. Crosby, 371 F.3d 782, 812 (11th Cir. 2004) (Tjoflat, J., concurring) ("Among the most fundamental common law requirements of § 2241 is that petitioners must first exhaust their state court remedies."). Georgia law
allows pretrial detainees to raise each of these types of claims either during state criminal proceedings or collaterally in a state habeas corpus action. See Perera v. Miller, 283 Ga. 583, 662 S.E.2d 544, 544 (Ga. 2008) (noting that criminal defendants can bring speedy trial claim and ineffective assistance of counsel claims during the course of criminal proceedings); Jackson v. State, 279 Ga. 449, 614 S.E.2d 781, 783-84 (Ga. 2005) (ruling on speedy trial claim and due process claim based on preindictment delay; claims initially brought in motion for a new trial and reasserted on direct appeal); Rainwater v. Langley, 277 Ga. 127, 587 S.E.2d 18, 19-20 (Ga. 2003) (challenging pretrial detention in state habeas petition); Banks v. Waldrop, 272 Ga. 475, 531 S.E.2d 708, 708 (Ga. 2000) (holding that challenge to pretrial detention based on contention of improper denial of bail is properly brought in state habeas petition); McClure v. Hopper, 234 Ga. 45, 214 S.E.2d 503, 506 (Ga. 1975) (holding that claim based on denial of a timely first appearance may be cognizable in habeas corpus action).Harvey v. Corbin, 2011 WL 4369828 at * 2 (S.D. Ga. Aug. 12, 2011). As in Harvey, Broadus "has not alleged, and there is nothing in the record to suggest, that he filed a state habeas petition challenging his pre-trial detention." Id. Therefore, his petition should be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE so that he may exhaust available state remedies.
SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED, this 13th day of February, 2012.
