United States Tenth Circuit

Denial of defendants' motions requesting that a district court compel the Bureau of Prisons to transfer them to detention facilities located closer to their families is affirmed where a request by a federal prisoner for a change in the place of confinement is properly construed as a challenge to the conditions of confinement and, thus, must be brought in a Bivens action, as opposed to a motion in a criminal case.
