UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY CAMDEN VICINAGE

DONOVAN DAVE DIXON, : CIV. NO. 20-7991 (RMB) : Petitioner : : v. : OPINION : : DAVID ORTIZ, and : UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : : Respondents :

BUMB, District Judge Petitioner Donovan Dixon, a prisoner confined in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey (“FCI Fort Dix”), filed a request for release from prison under the “Compassionate Care Act,” alleging he is at risk of death if he contracts COVID- 19. The Court construes Petitioner’s filing as a motion for compassionate release under

(c))(1)(A), as amended by the First Step Act. “Section 3582's text requires those motions to be addressed to the sentencing court[.]” United States v. Raia,

, 596 (3d Cir. 2020). This Court, therefore, lacks jurisdiction. According to the national index of federal court cases, Petitioner is serving a sentence imposed by the United States District Court, Eastern District of North Carolina. See United States v. Dixon, 7:16cr30-D-1 (E.D.N.C.)1 Pursuant to 28 sentencing court in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

An appropriate Order follows.
