Case Note: Cautionary tale: A request for compassionate release to the warden -- a necessary precondition of filing a compassionate release application in district court -- must include sufficient detail plus a release plan...
In U.S. v. BARBARA LEE, a.k.a. Queen Flaka, No. 19-13844, 2021 WL 1292754 (11th Cir. Apr. 7, 2021) (per curium) the court strictly construed the exhaustion requirement for filing compassionate release motions in district court, explaining: "Even if the March 10, 2019 request was in the record and Lee had waited thirty days after April 8, 2019 to file her compassionate release motion, her requests still did not exhaust her administrative remedies because the prison regulations required that Lee's requests include a proposed release plan and sufficiently explain the extraordinary or compelling reasons for her compassionate release. See 28 C.F.R. § 571.61(a). But Lee said only that she was seeking compassionate release because her parents were in poor health and her father needed her care—there was no detail and no release plan.”
