In a letter to U.S. District Judge John Koetl, Cohen wrote that every day his home confinement in Manhattan continues is a day Mr. Cohen is incarcerated unlawfully.
Cohen wrote that he wants Koetl to order his release pending adjudication of the question of whether his criminal sentence has already been satisfied.
He also wrote, The impetus for said request stems from the well-known fact that The Bureau of Prisons conspicuously slow walks these petitions to moot the determination; especially in matters like the one before Your Honor where Petitioner will be released from home confinement in 7 months.
If Koetl granted that request, Cohen would be allowed to leave his Upper East Side residence at will, at least until the judge ultimately rules on his legal bid to have his sentence declared complete.

While COVID-19 vaccines run scarce in places, Ghislaine Maxwell gets hers in jail Ben Wieder, Miami Herald © Rob Kim/Getty Images North America/TNS Ghislaine Maxwell attends the ETM Children s Benefit Gala in New York on May 6, 2014.
Ghislaine Maxwell has bitterly complained about conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where she is being held as she awaits trial this July on multiple charges related to the alleged sex trafficking of minors as well as two charges of perjury.
But her time behind bars has had one perk.
Federal prosecutors revealed Tuesday in a court filing that Maxwell has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, among the first to be vaccinated in her facility. So far, roughly 15% of Maxwell’s fellow inmates in the Brooklyn facility have been fully vaccinated and nearly one in four federal inmates have been vaccinated across the country, according to the most recent numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
