In U.S. v. Moore, No. CR-17-42-BMM, 2022 WL 3656988 (D. Mont. Aug. 25, 2022) (Morris, CJ), the court knocks six months off defendant’s sentence to account for COVID, explaining: "Defendant John Kevin Moore moved the Court to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) on February 2, 2022. (Doc. 219.) Moore is currently serving a sentence of 98 months for wire fraud, money laundering, false statements, and felon in possession. … His scheduled release date is May 27, 2023. Moore is now 66 years old. See Inmate Locator, www.bop.gov/inmateloc (accessed August 24, 2022). … Moore asserts that he suffers respiratory failure, fatigue, vertigo, nausea, dizziness, and a severely damaged immune system. (Doc. 219 at 4.) Moore has contracted COVID-19 twice while incarcerated. (Doc. 219 at 5.) The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) indicates that the elderly along with those with certain underlying conditions are at an increased risk for serious illness or death with the contraction of COVID-19. … The Government points out that at the time of writing their brief there was only 1 staff member and 1 prisoner with COVID-19 at Morgantown FCI. (Doc. 221 at 8.) As of the date of this order there are currently 2 staff members and 0 inmates with COVID-19 at Morgantown FCI. ... Moore's health concerns are relevant, but he is receiving proper medical care and his concerns do not outweigh the § 3553(a) factors. … The Court also recognizes that Moore is not a violent offender, but he would still pose a high risk to the public if he were to be released. Moore has been convicted of 21 felonies in this case and has been repeatedly revoked when on supervised release. (Doc. 221 at 4.) The Court determines that extraordinary and compelling reasons exist to reduce Moore's sentence, but not to grant Moore's motion for compassionate release effective immediately. The Court determines that COVID-19 poses a continued risk to Moore's health. In light of the COVID-related concerns for Moore's health, the Court will reduce Moore's sentence to 92 months.”)
