UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. COREY SUMLIN, Defendant.
ORDER
SIDNEY H. STEIN, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
The defendant has filed a request for the disclosure of grand jury transcripts and associated information [Doc. No. 69 in 13-Cr-660 and Doc. No. 37 in 18-Cr-682]. In addition, the Court has received a letter from defendant's former attorney Benjamin Silverman, Esq. stating that defendant "has requested that I ask the Court to appoint either the undersigned or other available counsel to make a renewed request to the Court" for compassionate release [Doc. No. 64 in 18-Cr-682], despite the fact that this Court has denied multiple requests by Mr. Sumlin for compassionate release.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The request for disclosure of grand jury information [Doc. No. 69 in 13-Cr-660 and Doc. No. 37 in 18-Cr-682] is denied on the basis that defendant has presented no basis for that relief. See Fed. R. Crim. P 6; and
2. The request for appointment of counsel [Doc. No. 64 in 18-Cr-682] is denied. Mr. Sumlin has made multiple requests for compassionate release and there is no basis for assignment of counsel here. See Cooper v. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170 (2d Cir. 1989), Hodge v. Police Officers. 802 F.2d 58 (2d Cir. 1986); and
3. The Court will mail a copy of this Order to defendant at his last known address: RRM New York, Residential Reentry Office, 10029th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11232.
SO ORDERED.
