DISPOSITION

I. BACKGROUND

Jessie Ray Williams filed this Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. No. 1) on June 24, 2014. At the time, he was an inmate of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in Forrest City, Arkansas. (Id.) He pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon1 on September 30, 2010. Judgment was entered on February 8, 2011, and Mr. Williams was sentenced to a sixty-months prison term, $100 special assessment fee, and three-years supervised release. (Doc. No. 8-1 at 13.) On March 7, 2013, the United States District Court in the Western District of Louisiana entered a revised sentencing order allowing Mr. Williams's federal sentence to run concurrently with his state sentence. (Doc. No. 8-1 at 25.)

Mr. Williams believes the BOP incorrectly calculated his custody credit,2 and this Court should grant him credit toward his sentence or "remand the case to the district court." (Doc. No. 1.) Respondent opposes the Petition stating BOP cannot credit Williams for time he served before the imposition of his federal sentence. (Doc. No. 8.) In other words, Respondent states Mr. Williams may only be given credit for time he served after imposition of his federal sentence on February 3, 2011. (Id.) Respondent further states Mr. Williams was given credit for all time he spent in state custody after February 3, 2011, and he was released four years later. The BOP found an error in the State of Louisiana's computation of Mr. Williams's sentence and awarded him an additional fifty-three days credit. (Id.)

Upon inspection of the pleadings, the Court realized Mr. Williams was released by BOP on February 27, 2015. Although the Court believed release mooted Mr. Williams's Petition, the Court offered Williams an opportunity to state whether or not he wished to proceed. (Doc. No. 10) The Order, however, was returned undeliverable. (Doc. No. 11.)

Accordingly, the Court finds the Petition is now moot. It is recommended the Petition be dismissed.

II. CONCLUSION

IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED that:

1. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 1) be DISMISSED as moot.
