Page 315 Thank you, (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) Supervisory Staff Attorney CLC New York Metropolitan Correctional Center 150 Park Row New York, New York 10007 p: (646)836-(b)(6); (b)(7)(C) f: (646)836-7665 (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) (USANYS)" (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) @usdoj.gov> 8/10/2019 11:30 AM >>> (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) It is frankly unbelievable to me that BOP is issuing public press releases on this before telling us basic information so that we can relay it to his attorneys who can relay it to his family. When can we expect to get either some sort of statement we can pass along to counsel as accurate and reliable or have a call with someone? I understand from the Marshals that they have been unsuccessful in reaching anyone with authority at BOP, and given the BOP press release that was just put out I assume we need to speak with someone there. Please advise. Thank you.

We need to know as soon as possible the very basic facts, such as time and cause of death at the absolute minimum. It has now been hours since this was reported publicly. Please advise when we can expect to receive either a written report on those basic facts or when we can have a call to get that information to relay to his counsel. It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to tell them that we have less information than the press. Please advise.
