Case Note: District court should not sua sponte dismiss compassionate release application on exhaustion grounds...
In U.S. v. RAFAEL PARADA-MENDOZA, a/k/a Cheve, a/k/a Chevi, a/k/a Cheby, Defendant - Appellant., No. 21-6722, 2022 WL 2303956 (4th Cir. June 27, 2022) (unpublished) (per curium), the Fourth Circuit reiterated that a district court should not sua sponte dismiss a petition based on exhaustion, explaining: "We recently held in United States v. Muhammad, 16 F.4th 126, 129-30 (4th Cir. 2021), that, “[a]lthough [§ 3582(c)(1)(A)] plainly requires [a prisoner] to complete certain steps before filing his motion [for compassionate release] in the district court, ... this requirement [is] non-jurisdictional, and thus waived if it is not timely raised.” Id. at 129. Because the district court sua sponte raised the administrative exhaustion issue in Muhammad, we held that the court reversibly erred when it dismissed Muhammad's motion for compassionate release “based on the threshold requirement, even assuming [Muhammad] had not completed the prerequisites to suit.” Id. at 130. The district court here did not have the benefit of our decision in Muhammad when it sua sponte raised the administrative exhaustion issue and denied Parada-Mendoza's motion for compassionate release on exhaustion grounds. We therefore vacate the court's order denying Parada-Mendoza's motion for compassionate release and remand for further proceedings in light of our decision in Muhammad. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.”
