UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. HERMAN FELIX WILLIAMS, Defendant.
ORDER
WILLIAM T. MOORE, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Before the Court is Defendant Herman Williams's motion to have his record expunged. (Doc. 93.) The Court is unaware of any authority by which it could expunge Defendant's conviction. Additionally, the Eleventh Circuit has “joined several other circuits in holding that 'federal courts do not have subject-matter jurisdiction over [expungement] motions, whether directed toward judicial records or the executive branch' because they do not present a question over which courts have ancillary jurisdiction.” United States v. Jones, No. CR497-165, 2020 WL 1061677, at *1 (S.D. Ga. Mar. 4, 2020) (quoting United States v. Adalikwu, 757 Fed.Appx. 909, 911 (11th Cir. 2018) (per curiam)). Accordingly, Defendant's motion (Doc. 93) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
