ORDER

This matter is before the Court on defendant's pro se motion to be relocated to a residential reentry center (RRC) in South Carolina. [DE 440]. Exclusive authority over a federal prisoner's place of imprisonment is vested in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b). While 18 U.S.C. § 3624 expands the Bureau's authority to place prisoners in RRCs, it does not give the Court that authority. 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c). Thus, the Court lacks the authority to direct the Bureau of Prisons to allow defendant to serve his sentence in a particular RRC, whether in South Carolina or not, and the motion is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
