USA v. Lamb

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

vs.

WILLIAM D. LAMB,

Defendant.

4:02CR3220

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

The defendant has filed a motion in the form of a letter. (Filing 172.) If he intended
the letter as a motion, it will be denied.

The government has filed a motion to restrict documents and a brief in support.
(Filing 178, Filing 179, Filing 180). Simply stated, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is
authorized to designate the place of a prisoner’s imprisonment and it is absolutely clear
that the defendant should not be released to a residential reentry center. The government
has considered the request of the defendant “in good faith.” (See e.g. Miller v. Whitehead,
527 F.3d 752, 758 (8th Cir. 2008).) The BOP has evidence of observations of anger,
hostility, anti-social behavior and disruptive conduct, including the use of drugs or alcohol,
which make him ineligible for placement in a residential reentry center. I agree.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

(1) The defendant’s letter treated as a motion (Filing 172) is denied.
(2) The government’s motion to restrict (Filing 179) is granted.

Dated this 21st day of March, 2022.

BY THE COURT:

Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
