Full title: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. TIMOTHY CHARLEMAGNE Defendant.
Court: United States District Court, D. Connecticut
Date published: May 6, 2022
Facts
Following the amputation of the toes on his right foot, Mr. Charlemagne filed the instant Emergency Motion to Reduce his Sentence – colloquially referred to as a Motion for Compassionate Release – on April 21, 2022. See Emergency Mot. for Reduction in Sentence (Doc. No. 84); Mem. in Supp. of Emergency Mot. for Reduction in Sentence (Def.’s Mem.) (Doc. No. 84-1). The Government responded two days later, opposing his Motion. See Gov’t’s Resp. to Def.’s Emergency Mot. for Reduction in Sentence (Gov’t’s Mem.) (Doc. No. 90). over the following two weeks, the court held a telephonic conference and a hearing on the Motion. See Minute Entry (Doc. No. 93); Notice (Doc. No. 94). In addition, the Government filed over 1, 000 pages of medical records under seal. See Medical Records (Docs. No. 88, 92-1).
Given the exigent nature of Mr. Charlemagne’s Motion, the court otherwise assumes familiarity with the facts of this case and outlines them below in Section IV only as necessary to articulate its Ruling.
