UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. FRANCISCO ANDRICKSON PENA, Defendant.
ORDER
SIDNEY H. STEIN, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
Defendant Francisco Pena submitted a letter dated August 16, 2022 requesting that this Court direct the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to transfer him to a lower-security prison.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b), the final determination of a prisoner's placement rests within the discretion of the BOP.
Because this Court lacks authority to change an inmate's place of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. § 3621, this application is denied.
The Clerk of Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to Mr. Pena at FCI Pollock Federal Correctional Institution, P.O. Box 4050, Pollock, LA 71467.
SO ORDERED:
