UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF, v. JEREMIAH JOHNSON, DEFENDANT.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
HONORABLE SARA LIOI CHIEF JUDGE
Before the Court is the pro se filing (Doc. No. 53) of defendant Jeremiah Johnson (“Johnson”), in which Johnson requests a recalculation of his eligibility for home detention pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3624. “The decision to transfer an inmate to home confinement is a matter within the sole discretion of [the Bureau of Prisons] . . . and is not subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act[.]” United States v. McWherter, No. 15-20040, 2020 WL 6469936, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 3, 2020) (first citing 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)(2); and then citing 18 U.S.C. § 3625); see also United States v. Brummett, No. 20-5626, 2020 WL 5525871, at *2 (6th Cir. Aug. 19, 2020) (citations omitted). Johnson's request is therefore properly directed to the Bureau of Prisons. Accordingly, to the extent that Johnson's filing (Doc. No. 53) constitutes a request for relief from the Court, that request is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
