Case Explained: Afeez Abiola Alao Petitioner— v. Warden Federal Medical Center Fort Worth Respondent—

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Filed: 2026-07-30 The fifth-circuit denied the petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed his appeal as frivolous. The court held that the petitioner failed to raise a nonfrivolous issue regarding the Bureau of Prisons’ refusal to apply earned time credits under 18 U.S.C. § 3632(d)(4)(E)(i), reasoning that an administrative order of removal is final upon issuance pursuant to *Riley v. Bondi* and 8 C.F.R. § 235.3(b)(2)(ii), (b)(5). Consequently, the petitioner made no showing that his Expedited Order of Removal was not final, rendering the underlying claim legally insufficient. The court also denied the petitioner’s motions for expedited consideration and immediate release. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service. Nothing in this episode constitutes legal advice.
