UNITED STATES v. JONES (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Kenneth J. JONES Defendant - Appellant

No. 20-2968

Decided: February 10, 2021

Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

Sydney L. Butler, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Lloyd Vance Stone, Assistant United States Attorney, Western District of Arkansas, Fort Smith, AR, for Plaintiff-Appellee Kenneth J. Jones, Pro Se Anna Marie Williams, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender's Office, Fayetteville, AR, for Defendant-Appellant

[Unpublished]

Kenneth J. Jones, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. The government concedes error and moves for remand, specifically noting it earlier conceded Jones had exhausted administrative remedies. Accordingly, we summarily reverse and remand for further proceedings on the merits of Jones's motion for compassionate release. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). The government's motion is granted, except the remand will not be limited nor briefing stayed as requested.
