The court dismissed the petitioner's motion for compassionate release and his habeas petition without prejudice. The court ruled that the incarcerated individual had not exhausted his administrative remedies under either claim, noting that "Title 18 U.S.C. §3582(c)(1) requires exhaustion of administrative remedies before bringing a motion to the Court for compassionate release, and this requirement applies to motions brought in the context of COVID-19."
