Separation Assignments/Co-Defendant Meetings Co-defendant meetings must be requested at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting, e.g. for a meeting on Tuesday at 2:00 P.M., the request must be submitted by Monday at 2:00 P.M. Written requests shoula be faxed to the MCC New York Legal Department, (646) 836-7665, and should include the names of everyone attending the meeting, including, but not limited ta, attorneys, paralegals, interpreters, investigators, co-defendants on bail and co-defendants at MCC New York. Please indicate which attorney represents each inmate. Also, please include with the request a copy of the first page of the indictment showing that the requested parties are co-defendants. This must be provided every time a meeting is requested. Separation Orders: An inmate with a “separation order” is prohibited from coming in contact with the inmate from whom he or she is separated. Such a restriction would normally prevent a co-defendant meeting. Ordinarily, the request can be accommodated if the AUSA who placed the separation order notifies the institution that the separation does not apply to co- defendant meetings. However, if the inmates have been separated due to security concerns, whether based on information developed by an outside agency or the Bureau of Prisons, MCC has the discretion to not allow the meeting. Attorneys who are aware of separation orders between co-defendants should include with their request the name and phene number of the AUSA assigned to the case in question. These requests should be made as far i advance as possible, as the meeting will not be scheduled if the responsible Assistant United States Attorney cannot be contacted. For co-defendant meetings that involve one or more inmates from McC New York and one or more inmates from MDC Brooklyn, it is the responsibility of the defense attorney to contact the responsible Assistant United States Attorney, who will, in turn, contact the USMS to arrange transportation of the inmate. The Bureau of f Prisons does not transport inmates for co-defendant meetings. Page 9 of 22 DOJ-OGR- 00023752
