Kevin Lorenz Taylor, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the denial of his motion for compassionate release. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). The district court denied Taylors motion “without prejudice because [he] ha[d] neither exhausted all administrative rights to appeal a failure of the Bureau of Prisons to bring a motion on [his] behalf; nor [had] 30 days lapsed since the receipt of such a request by the Warden” of Yazoo City Low FCI. See id. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). But Taylor attached to his motion a request for compassionate release that he submitted to the Warden on February 27, 2020. The government concedes that Taylor exhausted his administrative remedies by filing his request more than 30 days before he filed his motion in the district court. See id. And while Taylors appeal was pending, we held in United States v. Harris, 989 F.3d 908, 911 (11th Cir. 2021), that “[s]ection 3582(c)(1)(A)’s exhaustion requirement is not jurisdictional[.]” Because the district court could entertain Taylors motion, we vacate the order that denied Taylors motion for failure to exhaust and remand for further proceedings.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
