UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. PARKER H. PETIT, Defendant.


ORDER

JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J.

Defendant is an 82-year old man under treatment for a variety of conditions including bladder cancer that have left him immunocompromised. He is scheduled to surrender to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons on September 21, 2021 to serve a one-year sentence imposed pursuant to a jury's conviction on November 19, 2020. The Court has received the Defendant's letter, which is filed under seal along with supporting medical documentation and which is docketed in redacted form along with this Order to protect sensitive medical information. Defendant makes the following applications, set forth more fully in his sealed letter, none of which the Government opposes:

1. Direct the Probation Office to amend Petit's pre-sentence report to include certain information regarding his current medications and treatment protocols in the section labeled "Physical Condition";
2. Recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Petit be allowed to bring a supply of certain medications with him to prison and be permitted to access a sustained supply of that medication
to ensure that his cancer treatment can continue without interruption; and
3. Extend Petit's surrender date by one month, to October 21, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. to enable him to obtain a third, booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before entering prison.

The Court hereby grants Defendant's applications. A full statement of the medical information to be added to Petit's pre-sentence report is contained in his sealed letter application, which the Court will transmit to the Probation Office.

SO ORDERED.
