United States Courthouse
Dear Judge Chester:
By this letter, I respectfully request, on behalf of my client Esteve Palacios, that Mr. Palacios be allowed to surrender to in El Paso, Texas, when he starts to serve his federal prison term in connection with the above captioned matter.
I make this request because Mr. Palacios' wife, Tricia (who is Native American), owns a home at 851 Tom as Granillo in El Paso, and is now living on the Pueblo Indian reservation there. Mr. Palacios seeks to surrender in El Paso in order to keep his union with his wife and her children as strong as possible. Please also know that when the investigation commenced in the above-captioned matter, Mr. Palacios was residing in El Paso, TX at the aforementioned address with Tricia.
Apparently the probation department has Mr. Palacios listed to his El Paso residence, but the Bureau of Prisons has lists him residing at his birth family's home in Brooklyn. Pre Trial Services has informed me that the Bureau of Prisons will have Mr. Palacios surrender in Brooklyn unless your Honor directs that he be allowed to surrender in El Paso.
Please know that I have conferred with AUSA Andrew Carey, who prosecuted this matter, and he indicates that he has no objection to the above-stated request,
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
Daniel M. McGillyeuddy
