No. CR 13-709-TUC-CKJ
ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Motion to Remove Detainers (Doc. 76) filed by
Defendant Manuel R. Trujillo ("Trujillo").
Trujillo asserts his Arizona Department of Correction time computation and early
release credits have been and continue to be affected by a federal detainer placed against him.
He also asserts the detainer affects his security classification and placement, which in turn
affects his access to programs, jobs, and structures which support rehabilitation. Trujillo
requests the detainer be lifted long enough for him to be awarded early release credits and
be reclassified.
As the Court has previously discussed, it has no basis or authority to quash the
detainer against Trujillo. See e.g., July 31, 2025, Order (Doc. 71). Further, in addition to
Trujillo failing to provide any authority for the Court to order a federal agency to cancel then
re-institute a lawful detainer, the Court is unaware of any such authority or discretion.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Motion to Remove Detainers (Doc. 76) is DENIED.
