MEMORANDUM OPINION
Petitioner is a D.C. Code offender who, at the time he filed his petition, was in the
custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. See Pet. (ECF No. 1) at 1. Generally, Petitioner
demands that BOP apply credits he has earned under the First Step Act in conjunction with D.C.
Code § 24-403.01b and immediately release him from custody. See id. at 1-2. The Court
GRANTS Petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) and
DENIES the petition without prejudice for two reasons. First, it appears that Petitioner already
has been granted the relief he demands. According to BOP Inmate Locator, as of February 27,
2026, Petitioner is no longer in BOP custody. Second, it appears that Petitioner has raised the
same issues, and lost, in a prior civil action. See Moore v. Warden, FCI Berlin, No. 25-CV-110-
LM-AJ, 2026 WL 739037 (D.N.H. Feb. 19, 2026) (concluding that Petitioner met neither “the
requirement of a minimum or low recidivism risk for application of FSA credits for early release
or placement on supervised release” nor “successfully completed a residential treatment program
offered by the BOP”), report and recommendation approved sub nom. Moore v. FCI Berlin,
Warden, No. 25-CV-110-LM-AJ, 2026 WL 738121 (D.N.H. Mar. 16, 2026).
An Order is issued separately.
