United States v. Martin, No. 16-17353 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit dismissed defendant's motion requesting a judicial recommendation to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for placement in a residential re-entry center (RRC) 12 months prior to the end of his sentence. Defendant contended that a prolonged placement at an RRC would help aid his re-integration into society. The court held that the denial of a request for a judicial recommendation was not a final order subject to appellate review. Moreover, the relief requested, if granted, would violate the prohibition on federal courts issuing non-binding advisory opinions.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on August 18, 2017.
