Opinion
CRIMINAL NO. 4:97-354-CMC
08-14-2012
United States of America, v. Mark Lewis, Defendant.
OPINION and ORDER
This matter is before the court on Defendant's pro se application for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 50. Defendant contends that the United States Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is requiring that he pay restitution, the order for which he believes has been satisfied. Defendant seeks relief from this court in the form of an order notifying BOP that he has satisfied his restitution obligation via his previous period of incarceration. The Government has responded in opposition. ECF No. 55. Defendant has replied to the Government's response, ECF No. 58, and this matter is ripe for resolution.
Defendant is currently serving a sentence of eighty (80) months' imprisonment ordered by another Judge of this District. See United States v. Lewis, D.S.C. Cr. No. 4:09-949-RBH.
For the reasons noted by the Government, with which this court agrees and adopts, this court is without jurisdiction to entertain this § 2241 petition. Therefore, the petition is dismissed without prejudice.
All other pending motions filed by Defendant are hereby moot.
--------
IT IS SO ORDERED.
