The applicant, a federal inmate, applied for a writ of habeas corpus and Charter relief to challenge his security classification, his correctional plan requiring sex offender programming, and the anticipated denial of his statutory release.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the application, holding that habeas corpus is not available to review a refusal to transfer to a lower security facility or to challenge a correctional plan.
The court further held that absent a valid habeas corpus claim, it lacked jurisdiction to grant Charter remedies regarding the administration of the sentence, as exclusive jurisdiction rests with the Federal Court.
The challenge to the anticipated denial of statutory release was also dismissed as premature.
