My apologies for the delay yesterday. The institution was short-staffed, and they were actively 
finding personnel to process you in the lobby and to oversee the attorney conference room area. If you 
experience any delays on the weekends, please ask to speak to the Duty Officer and/or the Operations 
Lieutenant as they were aware of the visit and could have expedited your admission to the facility. They also 
could have called me at home to resolve any issues. Likewise, if ou are visiting during the week and we have 
made arrangements to expedite your visits, please contact 
and me if there are any delays so we 
can facilitate matters immediately. Please also let us know when you meet in an attorney conference room 
that has a non-working computer so that we can have Computer Services fix it expeditiously. We continue to 
work to address Mr. Tartaglione's complaints, so please let us know if there are outstanding issues that have 
not yet been appropriately addressed. 
Thank you,

While I do appreciate your effort, for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, the personal seem unable to 
allow Nick reasonable access to his lawyers. 
Today, I arrived at the faculty at 7:56. I was told "not until 8:00" by the guard in the booth. At 8:00 I was told 
"we will let you know. We are waiting for relief." I waited outside for 35 minutes. 
(I am lucky to be healthy, as I was forced to stand because the waiting area was inexplicably locked). I finally 
got to see Nick just after 9:00, less than 30 minutes before the cut off to leave before the count.

Unfortunately, this is not a recent problem. Long delays, unexpected closures of the facility and lockdowns 
have all occurred frequently since Mr. Tartaglione was first arrested, over 3 years ago and have significantly 
hampered our ability to communicate with our client, who is facing the death penalty. 
Because the BOP has chosen to monitor emails and phone calls between Lawyers and their clients, we are 
forced to meet with Nick to discuss every aspect of the case, even relatively benign things that typically 
could be handled with a quick call or a short email. 
As you know, I have been writing about these problems, speaking to you and bringing the issues to the 
attention of Judge Karas over the course of the years of Nick's Pretrial detention. 
On a personal note, this was a particularly frustrating day because I again took time away from my family on 
a Sunday to drive into NYC with anticipation that would be able to leave at 9:30. Today's trip, as you know, 
was necessary because Ms. Leisenring and I arrived on Thursday at 7:55 but were not permitted to see our 
client until 9:30. 
These obstacles to meeting with our client are systemic and do not appear to be correctable without 
significant changes in how the BOP operates the faculty. The rooms for visiting have computers that are 
frequently broken, there are not enough rooms to accommodate the number of lawyers attempting to see 
their clients (several hours of delays are routine for any lawyer who doesn't arrive before 8:00), the staff 
frequently delays the opening of legal visiting but never extends the dosing time, once in a room, a lawyer 
can expect to wait for their client to be produced from 10-15 minutes to hours and of course at times the 
facility simply closes and refuses visits all together. 
The USA's office has advised that the Marshal's have refused our request to transfer Mr. Tartaglione to 
Nassau County and despite my inquiry about other options, have not offered any alternative. 
The conditions under which Mr. Tartaglione Are being held continue to be problematic, to say the least. 
There is again water in his cell and the other issues, which I have written about a number of times but won't 
detail again here, persist. 
I don't think anyone understands what it is like to be locked in a windowless box all day, everyday with 
limited human contact and virtually no contact with family or friends. People can't survive like that for very 
long. Cell phone or not, the conditions in SHU are deplorable. Discussing the issues surrounding his 
complex death penalty case has become nearly impossible. Whether intentional or accidental, the MCC is 
breaking Mr. Tartaglione's ability to defend the charges and prepare for trial. 
I am open to any solution

Good afternoon Bruce, 
We apologize for the delays you experienced yesterday. We have spoken to 
the SHU Lieutenant and have received assurances he will have staff bring him 
to attorney conference in advance of your future meetings to allow him to 
review discovery until you get there. He will extend the same courtesy to the 
other members of your defense team with appropriate advance notice. 
The SHU Lieutenant is meeting with Mr. Tartaglione today to discuss his 
personal property, including but not limited to his books and legal work, as 
well as recreation and law library access. Policy ordinarily limits inmates to 
having only 5 books in their possession, in both general population and in 
SHU. The SHU Lieutenant reviewed his books and advised he can maintain 
five in his cell and seventeen in reserve in his stored personal property, but 
that the other one hundred and fifty-one books would have to be mailed 
home. Mr. Tartaglione will be informed of this and given the opportunity to 
choose which books to keep. The SHU Lieutenant reports that Mr. 
Tartaglione was provided his legal work other than the hard drives that are 
currently in the Education Department, which will be brought to SHU to be 
maintained there for his review while housed there. If there is any legal work 
still missing, please advise so it can be located. 
Regarding recreation, I am told he has not responded in the affirmative when 
recreation is offered in the morning, but the SHU Lieutenant will remind him 
of those procedures. Likewise, the SHU Lieutenant will go over law library 
request procedures which involve him submitted written requests to use the 
SHU law library. 
I will update you as soon as I get more information. 
Thank you,

Good morning, 
First, thank you for the time you have devoted to both speaking to us about 
these issues and the work you have put in trying to alleviate the problems. 
Unfortunately, despite your efforts the problems with the conditions Nick 
endures and the difficulty in visiting him persist. 
Aida and I met with Nick yesterday, for only about 20-30 minutes. Although 
we arrived at the facility at 7:55 and although 
was kind enough to 
Page 13115 
EFTA00043626

set up a room for us, Nick was not brought down until almost 9:30. We were 
allowed upstairs at about 8:15, just when the guard for the room had just 
arrived . This is a frequent problem. It seems that room is often not staffed 
on time. So, when lawyers arrive at 8:00 they get a room, but have to wait 
until that guard arrives. This is particularly troubling on the weekends when 
there is a 10:00 count and you have to either stay until 11:00 or get out by 
9:30. Yesterday the officer in the room told us it would "be a while" before 
inmates from SHU would be brought down. Indeed it was "a while" as we sat 
for over an hour. We left just before 10:00 and were both late for our next 
appointment, mine a hearing in state court. We were not able to cover the 
ground we needed to with Nick and now have to return in the next few days 
when I fear the process will repeat itself. 
This week several members of the defense team have waited hours to see 
Nick. On Monday our investigator waited 2 hours and on Tuesday one of our 
mitigations specialists also waited 2 hours. Aida and I were Lucky in that we 
only waited about 75 minutes. We simply cannot effectively represent our 
client with these kind of delays. 
I believe we delivered a hard drive to the USA's office over a week ago. Nick 
tells us that he has not yet received it. Further, when he was moved to cell 
without water on the floor, the little discovery he did have, was "lost." He 
has never been given the document I previously mentioned, work product 
created by our office on which he made notes. It was out on his bed when 
he the cell phone was seized. 
Nick still hasn't been given any of the books he had nor has he received the 
books recently mailed to him and received by the facility. He now has a cell 
mate, someone to talk to, which has improved his emotional state, but he 
should have reading material and access to his discovery and legal work. 
I understand that other than visits, Nick has been locked in his cell 24 hours a 
day without time for recreation or to go to the library. If this is part of his 
punishment, it seems harsh. 
Again, I know that Nick is in SHU because of the cell phone, but he is still 
entitled to humane conditions, reading material and reasonable access to his 
legal team.

Good morning, 
I was able to see Nick last night. Thank you for arranging a room for him. He reports that he has not 
had his hearing yet and the conditions in his cell remain the same. He was told by a guard that he is 
going to be denied visits, phone calls and commissary for a year, in addition to being held in SHU for 90 
days. Water is constantly leaking into the cell, which he now shares with another inmate. He still has 
not received the updated discovery hard drive. He has only been given three short books which he 
read several times, despite having new books sent to him (we have the receipts indicating that MCC has 
received them). He does not have the paper discovery he had prior to being placed in SHU. Recently, 
he found a dead rodent in his bed. Apparently he accident) smothered it while slee in . The li hts in 
the cell are fre uentl off durin the da and on at ni ht. 
I understand that the cell phone justifies some sanction, but the troubling conditions in the cell should 
be rectified. Lastly, I hope the guard who told Nick about his punishment is mistaken.

Subject: Re: Tartaglione conditions/visits 
Good afternoon Bruce, 
We apologize for the delays you experienced yesterday. We have spoken to 
the SHU Lieutenant and have received assurances he will have staff bring him 
to attorney conference in advance of your future meetings to allow him to 
review discovery until you get there. He will extend the same courtesy to the 
other members of your defense team with appropriate advance notice. 
The SHU Lieutenant is meeting with Mr. Tartaglione today to discuss his 
personal property, including but not limited to his books and legal work, as 
well as recreation and law library access. Policy ordinarily limits inmates to 
having only 5 books in their possession, in both general population and in 
SHU. The SHU Lieutenant reviewed his books and advised he can maintain 
five in his cell and seventeen in reserve in his stored personal property, but 
that the other one hundred and fifty-one books would have to be mailed 
home. Mr. Tartaglione will be informed of this and given the opportunity to

choose which books to keep. The SHU Lieutenant reports that Mr. 
Tartaglione was provided his legal work other than the hard drives that are 
currently in the Education Department, which will be brought to SHU to be 
maintained there for his review while housed there. If there is any legal work 
still missing, please advise so it can be located. 
Regarding recreation, I am told he has not responded in the affirmative when 
recreation is offered in the morning, but the SHU Lieutenant will remind him 
of those procedures. Likewise, the SHU Lieutenant will go over law library 
request procedures which involve him submitted written requests to use the 
SHU law library. 
I will update you as soon as I get more information. 
Thank you, 
Supervisory Staff Attorney

Good morning, 
First, thank you for the time you have devoted to both speaking to us about 
these issues and the work you have put in trying to alleviate the problems. 
Unfortunately, despite your efforts the problems with the conditions Nick 
endures and the difficulty in visiting him persist. 
Aida and I met with Nick yesterday, for only about 20-30 minutes. Although 
we arrived at the facility at 7:55 and although 
was kind enough to 
set up a room for us, Nick was not brought down until almost 9:30. We were 
allowed upstairs at about 8:15, just when the guard for the room had just 
arrived . This is a frequent problem. It seems that room is often not staffed 
on time. So, when lawyers arrive at 8:00 they get a room, but have to wait 
until that guard arrives. This is particularly troubling on the weekends when 
there is a 10:00 count and you have to either stay until 11:00 or get out by 
9:30. Yesterday the officer in the room told us it would "be a while" before 
inmates from SHU would be brought down. Indeed it was "a while" as we sat 
for over an hour. We left just before 10:00 and were both late for our next 
appointment, mine a hearing in state court. We were not able to cover the 
ground we needed to with Nick and now have to return in the next few days 
when I fear the process will repeat itself. 
This week several members of the defense team have waited hours to see 
Nick. On Monday our investigator waited 2 hours and on Tuesday one of our

only waited about 75 minutes. We simply cannot effectively represent our 
client with these kind of delays. 
I believe we delivered a hard drive to the USA's office over a week ago. Nick 
tells us that he has not yet received it. Further, when he was moved to cell 
without water on the floor, the little discovery he did have, was "lost." He 
has never been given the document I previously mentioned, work product 
created by our office on which he made notes. It was out on his bed when 
he the cell phone was seized. 
Nick still hasn't been given any of the books he had nor has he received the 
books recently mailed to him and received by the facility. He now has a cell 
mate, someone to talk to, which has improved his emotional state, but he 
should have reading material and access to his discovery and legal work. 
I understand that other than visits, Nick has been locked in his cell 24 hours a 
day without time for recreation or to go to the library. If this is part of his 
punishment, it seems harsh. 
Again, I know that Nick is in SHU because of the cell phone, but he is still 
entitled to humane conditions, reading material and reasonable access to his 
legal team.
