RELEVANT FACTS

23

Petitioner Galindo is currently detained at the Federal Correctional Institution in Herlong,

24 California. Petitioner (Doc. 1) at 2. After conviction for several counts of felon in possession of a
25 firearm, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm during a
26 drug trafficking crime, Galindo was sentenced by the United States District Court for the District of
27 Hawaii with 470 months of imprisonment. Petition at 2. The court imposed sentence on October 6,
28 2008. Petition at 2.
MOTION FOR EXTENSION

1

1

In his Section 2241 petition, Galindo alleges that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) failed to grant him

2 credit for time served in custody at the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Petition at 3. As
3 currently calculated, the petitioner’s release date is December 22, 2038.1 This release date is the result
4 of his federal sentence’s interaction with three separate Hawaii state sentences.
5

To respond to the Petitioner’s claim, the government believes it is necessary for it to have access

6 to the defendant’s prior criminal history, including records related to his terms of incarceration with the
7 State of Hawaii. Timothy Rodrigues, Senior Attorney for BOP in Honolulu, Hawaii, is assisting with
8 the response to the petition. He has informed me that information regarding Petitioner's state cases was
9 consolidated in Petitioner's Presentence Investigation Report by the U.S. Probation Office, and used by
10 the BOP for purposes of sentence calculation at the onset of Petitioner's federal sentence. In order to
11 ensure the accuracy of the sentence and faithfully respond to the Petition, the BOP's Designation and
12 Sentence Computation Center has requested original source documents from the Hawaii state
13 Department of Public Safety regarding Petitioner's separate Hawaii state sentences. BOP originally
14 requested these documents on February 16, 2017. Mr. Rodrigues has renewed BOP’s request, and
15 emphasized that these records are urgently needed and critical to the government's response in this
16 matter. The documents have not yet been received.
17

Because the documents are necessary for the government to respond to the petition, it hereby

18 moves the court for an additional sixty (60) days to file its response.
