Case Note: 30 days notice to Warden satisfies exhaustion requirement, even if inmate is transferred.


In U.S. v. RASHAUN MCKAY, 2021 WL 807108 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 3, 2021) (Crotty, J.), compassionate release was denied but worth noting is that part of the decisions holding a defendant exhausts by waiting 30 days after serving the Warden even if the defendant is transferred prior to the 30th day: "McKay has satisfied § 3582(c)(1)(A)’s exhaustion requirement. McKay requested compassionate release from his warden at MDC Brooklyn on September 18, 2020 and did not receive a response. While the record bears no indication that McKay requested compassionate release from his warden at FCI Danbury after his transfer there, this Court determines that a defendant need request compassionate release only once, and thereafter may bring his motion to the district court when his warden has denied his request or left it unanswered for 30 days. … Even if McKay had not exhausted his administrative remedies, the Court would deem the exhaustion requirement waived in these circumstances. See United States v. Brady, No. S2 18 Cr. 316 (PAC), 2020 WL 2512100, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 15, 2020) (noting that the exhaustion requirement is waivable); United States v. Scparta, No. 18-cr-578 (AJN), 2020 WL 1910481, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 20, 2020) (concluding the same, after prior opinion taking contrary position).”)
