Case Note: Need to place children in foster care not extraordinary and compelling...
In U.S. v. Jamellia Kibby, 2021 WL 2009568 (S.D. Ohio May 20, 2021) (Graham, J.), the court concluded that "defendant's particular childcare difficulties in this case and the possibility that defendant's children may be placed in foster care until her full release in October [2021] do not constitute an extraordinary and compelling reason for her early release. The care of minor children while a parent is incarcerated is a problem faced by many convicted defendants. The fact that defendant's close family members are unwilling or unable to assume the responsibility of looking after defendant's children, while unfortunate, is not uncommon or extraordinary.”
