Case Note: Not a stoke of luck...
In U.S. v. ANDREW EDWARDS Defendant, No. CR 16-204, 2022 WL 3998567 (W.D. Pa. Sept. 1, 2022), the court found that a stroke in prison is not extraordinary and compelling because it is common, explaining: "The problem with characterizing Edwards's strokes and resulting health problems as an extraordinary medical concern is that strokes are all too common. More than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year. Ctrs. for Disease Control & Prevention, Stroke Facts (Apr. 5, 2022), https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/facts.htm. Of those strokes about 610,000 of them are first or new strokes. Id. As the Government argues, “[m]any people will encounter serious health issues during their lifetime, and this includes federal inmates.” Gov't. Resp. at 1. Without any additional evidence that Edwards's recovery goes beyond what is usual, the Court concludes his current state of being does not constitute an extraordinary reason for early release. In sum, Edwards's health problems are not sufficiently extraordinary and compelling to warrant his release. Because Edwards fails to meet this requirement, this Court will not evaluate the § 3553(a) factors.”
