Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Charles B. Craft, No. 22-cv-1897 (KMM/TNL) Petitioner, v. ORDER B. Eischen, Respondent.
This case is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of United States Magistrate Judge Tony L. Leung, dated April 17, 2023. Judge Leung recommends that Charles Craft’s petition for a writ habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 be denied and that this action be dismissed without prejudice. Judge Leung found that because the Bureau of Prisons had applied First Step Act credits to Mr. Craft’s sentence and transferred him out of the Federal Prison Camp in Duluth to home confinement, there was no longer a live case or controversy. Mr. Craft received the relief he requested in his petition, and none of the exceptions to the mootness doctrine applied. [R&R at 4–7, Dkt. 19.] No objections have been filed to the R&R. The Court reviews de novo any portion of the R&R to which specific objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b).
