term of supervised release on September 25, 1998.

I. BACKGROUND
On November 8, 1996 the petitioner pled guilty to one count of a superseding bill of information, which charged him with misprision of a felony, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 4. This Court subsequently sentenced Cuevas to a 24 month term of imprisonment, one year of supervised release, and a $7,500.00 fine. The Court also recommended that the Bureau of Prisons permit Cuevas to participate in drug treatment and counseling while incarcerated.
Cuevas began his two year period of incarceration on June 9, 1997. See Cuevas Pet., Ex. "C". He paid his fine on December 30, 1997. See Cuevas Pet., Ex. "D". While in custody, Cuevas participated in a 500 hour intensive drug abuse treatment program sponsoredby the Bureau of Prisons. He successfully completed the program on September 24, 1998. See Cuevas Pet., Ex. "B". Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3624(b), the Bureau of Prisons credited the petitioner for good behavior and set his release date for March 4, 1999. He began his one year term of supervised release at that time.
On February 17, 1999, prior to his release date, Cuevas filed his petition for habeas corpus relief, alleging that the defendants, Bureau of Prisons, Kathleen H. Sawyer (Director of the Bureau of Prisons), and Edward Boldger (Cuevas's supervisor at the half-way house where he was incarcerated at the time of his petition), violated his due process and equal *683 protection rights by denying him a sentence reduction for successful completion
