UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CLELAN T. JONES, Defendant.
ORDER DEFERRING PROCEEDINGS ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR COMPASSIONATE RELEASE (ECF No. 61)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Now pending before the Court is a motion for compassionate release by Defendant Clelan Jones. (See Mot., ECF No. 61.) The Court discussed the motion with counsel during an on-the-record video conference on June 14, 2022. For the reasons stated on the record, the Court will DEFER further proceedings on the motion. At this time, the Government need not respond to the motion. If Mr. Jones encounters issues related to his health and/or his medications once be reports to begin serving the sentence imposed by this Court and if counsel for Mr. Jones believes that those issues warrant Mr. Jones' compassionate release, counsel for Mr. Jones may inform the Court that Mr. Jones wishes to restart the proceedings on his compassionate release motion. If and when that occurs, the Court will promptly convene a status conference with counsel to discuss resuming proceedings on the motion for compassionate release on an expedited basis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
