UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. SHAMARCUS HUNT, Defendant.
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO SEND § 2241 FORM
J. DANIEL BREEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Defendant, Shamarcus Hunt, has filed a letter asking the Court “[w]hat [the] proper procedure” is for him “to receive” certain “Jail Credits.” (Docket Entry (“D.E.”) 98.) A federal prisoner's challenge to the calculation of sentencing credits by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) is cognizable under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See United States v. Dowell, 16 Fed.Appx. 415, 420 (6th Cir. 2001) (“[A] prisoner may seek judicial review of the computation of [his] credit[s] under 28 U.S.C. § 2241[.]”). However, before proceeding in federal court, the prisoner must “exhaust[] all of his administrative remedies” through the BOP. Id. Should Hunt decide to file a § 2241 petition, he must use this district's form. The Clerk is therefore DIRECTED to send the § 2241 form to Defendant.
IT IS ORDERED.
