How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding a prisoner to have made a strong showing of likelihood of success on his claim that the BOP policy change violated the Ex Post Facto Clause
• granting preliminary injunction finding substantial likelihood of success on the merits on the Ex Post Facto claim
• observing further that the BOP’s routine exercise of its discretion as to place of confinement gave rise to an “understanding” among federal judges that the Bureau would at least consider its recommendations before accepting or rejecting them
• “Here, the change in BOP policy prohibiting it from exercising its discretion to determine a prisoner’s place of confinement was not foreseeable.”
• Given the seventeen-year history of the CCC program, “a delay pending resolution of the merits of Plaintiffs claim will not cause substantial injury to Defendants.”
