CIVIL NO. 7:13-CV-0127-HL-TQL

ORDER
Petitioner Michael Issacs, a federal detainee, has filed the present action challenging his
pre-trial confinement under 42 U.S.C. § 2241.

Habeas petitions filed by federal pre-trial

detainees are considered premature. See Garcon v. Palm Beach Cnty Sheriff’s Ofc., 291 F. App’x
225, 226 (11th Cir. Aug. 22, 2008). The claims Petitioner seeks to raise are properly brought in
his pending federal criminal case, United States v. Issacs, 7:12-CR-040-HL, and subsequent direct
appeal, should he choose to file one. The instant petition is thus deemed premature and is hereby
DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED, this 9th day of October, 2013.

s/ Hugh Lawson
HUGH LAWSON, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
