Case Note: Defendant on home confinement, raising issues different from those previously asserted in support of compassionate release, must exhaust anew...
In U.S. v. JERIEL SLAY, Defendant., No. 19-CR-114-RJA, 2023 WL 2493797 (W.D.N.Y. Mar. 14, 2023), the court held that defendant’s transfer to home confinement via CARES required re-exhausting with RRM before filing motion for compassionate release based on different grounds, explaining: "The Government asserts that the instant motion should be denied because Defendant did not submit a new application to the Warden after his first motion was denied by the Court. Because the instant motion raises different grounds for a sentence reduction that his previous motion, and because Defendant is now in a different posture being on home confinement rather than incarcerated at FCI Danbury, the Court finds that Defendant was required to request compassionate release from the Warden as a predicate to filing another motion in light of these changed circumstances. See United States v. Lucas, No. 11-CR-629-8 (CS), 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 182629, *5-6 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 5, 2022) (noting that some district courts have found a second warden application “necessary where the motion raises a different ground than the previous one”); compare United States v. Carbonaro, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 148502, *5 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 18, 2022) (deeming the defendant's original request for compassionate release to the BOP as “having satisfied the exhaustion requirement for his renewed motion,” where the second motion made essentially the same argument for release as his first).”
