MEMORANDUM ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S REQUEST FOR SENTENCE REDUCTION
LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.
Defendant Jesus Ramon Serrano ("Serrano" or "Petitioner") is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in this "Motion for Sentence Relief Under the Federal Prison Bureau Non-Violent Offender Relief Act of 2003," ("Relief Act") filed September 14, 2015. Doc. 616. The government filed its Opposition on September 17, 2015. Doc. 617.
Petitioner asks the Court to reduce his sentence pursuant to the Relief Act, H.R. 3575, 108th Cong. (2003-04), which Petitioner asserts has amended 18 U.S.C. § 3624 by adding a subsection (g) to permit the early release of certain non-violent offenders. Id. However, while bills have been introduced to so amend 18 U.S.C. § 3624, see, e.g., H.R. 71, 114th Cong (2015-16), Congress has not yet enacted any such legislation. See 18 U.S.C. § 3624.
Petitioner raises no other grounds for relief. Therefore, his request for a sentence reduction is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
