The defendant must request relocation approval through his/her case manager at the Bureau of Prisons. When a request is made by the case manager, the probation office will conduct an investigation to determine if relocation is appropriate and report its findings to the Bureau of Prisons and the sentencing district. If relocation is granted, a subsequent transfer of jurisdiction may occur.
