Eliot S. Sash v. Michael Zenk, Federal Bureau of Prisons

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the purposes of the rule of lenity are not implicated by this question because § 3624(b) is administrative and not criminal in nature
• holding rule of lenity irrelevant in interpreting federal statute that defined neither the criminal prohibition nor the penalty imposed and was therefore not a “criminal statute”
• statutory language ambiguous where “at least two reasonable interpretations” exist
