I. Introduction
On June 8, 2021, Petitioner Brent Antonio Moore, proceeding pro se, filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (“The Petition”). After failing a drug test while on supervised release in Case No. 17-CR-00156-JLS-1, Petitioner was remanded to Santa Ana Jail to serve his sentence. Petitioner’s anticipated release date is September 24, 2021. [Dkt. No. 1 at 9.] The Petition alleges that the prison and jail systems are harsher than contemplated at the original time of sentencing, and that a reduction in sentence is warranted to prevent disparity of sentences. [Id.] In seeking a reduction of sentence to time served, it raises three grounds: (1) two weeks of solitary quarantine confinement upon remand to jail facility, (2) 22 hours in prison cell on most days, and (3) a lack of medical care and treatment. [Id.]
