SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 22 – The U.S. Bureau of
Prisons on-again, off-again
policy of release from
facilities where COVID-19 is
spreading has drawn rebuke
from judges ranging from Kimba
M. Wood to, now, Ronnie
Abrams.
In a case
that has being going around in
circles, on April 24, 2020
Judge Abrams ruled: "the BOP
represented that it needs
seven more days to prepare for
her transfer to home
confinement. Dkt. 69, Ex. 1.
Given the undisputed severity
of Ms. Park’s health condition
and the acute danger presented
to her by continuing to be
housed at FCI Danbury, the
Court can no longer wait for
Ms. Park to be released. As
the death rate from COVID-19
continues to grow, especially
for those with preexisting
health conditions, every day
counts. Center for Disease
Control and Prevention,
Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19): People Who Are At
Higher Risk (Apr. 24, 2020),
available at
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-
ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-at-higher-risk.html.
Accordingly, the Court
restores 3 to the docket Ms.
Park’s emergency motion for
compassionate release and
grants it. The BOP is ordered
to release Ms. Park
immediately."
Now a year
later on April 22, 2021, this:
"ORDER as to Haena Park. On
April 12, 2021, the Court
received a letter from victims
in this case requesting that
the Court order the government
to provide a complete
accounting and the immediate
disbursement of Ms. Park's
seized assets, plus accrued
interest to the victims of
this case as restitution." No
later than May 7, 2021, the
Government shall file a
response to this request
(Government Responses due by
5/7/2021) (Signed by Judge
Ronnie Abrams on
4/22/21)."
The case is
US v. Park, 16-cr-473
(Abrams).
