Young v. Director, U. S. Bureau of Prisons
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
William H. Young, a prisoner at the United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, filed a document entitled “Motion for Declaratory Judgments, or
On July 30, 1952, Young was sentenced by a United States Military Court to serve fifty years imprisonment on his conviction of murder. This sentence has been progressively reduced by clemency to a period of 18 years. He was released on parole on January 25, 1962. On June 2, 1965, Young was arrested under a parole violator’s warrant.
This precise point was dealt with by this court in Di Pippa v. Willing-ham, 199 F.Supp. 733, 734 (M.D.Pa. 1961), aff’d. 296 F.2d 730 (3d Cir. 1961), wherein it is stated that a prisoner is not entitled to credit upon his sentence for the period that he is out on parole. See also: Weathers v. Willingham, 356 F.2d 421 (10th Cir. 1966); Hodge v. Markley, 339 F.2d 973 (7th Cir. 1965), cert. denied 381 U.S. 927, 85 S.Ct. 1564, 14 L.Ed.2d 685 (1965); Van Horn v. Maguire, 328 F.2d 585 (5th Cir. 1964); Stevenson v. United States, 250 F.Supp. 859 (W.D.Mich. 1966); Nace v. United States, 231 F.Supp. 528 (D.Minn. 1964), aff’d. 334 F.2d 235 (8th Cir. 1964). “Sentence can be served only by imprisonment or by unrevoked parole.” Postelwait v. Willingham, 365 F.2d 759, 760 (10th Cir. 1966). Any further discussion is not warranted since it is obvious that any further proceedings would be futile.
Accordingly, the “Motion for Declaratory Judgments, or in Alternative Summary Judgment” will be dismissed.
. See Young v. Parker, 256 F.Supp. 1002 (M.D.Pa. 1966) wherein this Court held that the Parole Board was justified in revoking Young’s parole.
