Inmate in FCI Gilmer in West Virginia Was Denied Lawyer Calls So 1 Ordered in 3 Days

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 6 – Angel Otero has a January 29 deadline for submissions for compassionate release from Federal prison. But he's been unable to speak with his lawyer due to COVID-19 lockdown. 

 On January 5 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla, overseeing Otero's case, was asked to sign an order on it, see below.

And on January 6, to her credit, she did: "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Bureau of Prisons and/or FCI Gilmer provide for a secure phone conference to take place between Angel Otero, Register Number 72776-054, and his counsel so that they may have an attorney-client protected phone conversation... IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the phone call must take place within three days of this order. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 1/6/21)."

Before here are a series of emails with FCI Gilmer in Glenville, West Virginia, including on from earlier on January 5 that "We are currently locked down due to Covid restrictions.

At this time we are not allowed to pull inmates out of their cells." 

  There is a also a draft proposed order that "the phone call must take place within three days of this order."

 The case is US v. Otero, 15-cr-608 (Failla)
