USA v. CURTIS ARNOLD (2)
ORDER
ROBERT J. CONRAD, JR., UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon a motion by the defendant pro se to reduce his supervised release term. (Doc. No. 177).
The defendant asserts that his prior drug convictions are no longer predicates for enhancing the length of his supervised release term from five to ten years. However, his judgment became final in 2019 after it was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. (Doc. No. 73: Opinion; Doc. No. 74: Mandate). Accordingly, such a claim must be raised pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the defendant's motion, (Doc. No. 177), is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to send the defendant a copy of the Pro Se Prisoner 2255 Motion to Vacate Form at the place of his incarceration.
