SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 10 – Pablo Palos Garcia is
detained on drug charges in
the Metropolitan Detention
Center in
Brooklyn.
On
January 5, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge John G. Koeltl
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge
Koeltl had ordered the MDC to
provide Garcia with meals for
diabetics. But MDC counsel
Sophia Papapetru responded
that "there is no special diet
for inmates that have
diabetes... It is the inmates
[sic] responsibility to
refrain from poor lifestyle
choices of purchases on
commissary."
Judge
Koeltl expressed surprise at
the answer, and asked that the
Warden respond by January 7.
MDC Warden
F. Martinez, Jr. on January 7
put in a copy of the MDC menu,
and withheld exhibits about
Palos-Garcia's Pill Line Med
Rec and Clinical encounter.
On January 10
Judge Koeltl held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. There
was talk of transfer to Hudson
from MDC, or release. But
would ICE then deport
Palos-Garcia? The AUSA said
there could be no assurances,
but probably not. Judge Koeltl
expressed a willingness to
consider on the case, this
week.
The case is US v.
Palos Garcia, 21-cr-340
