Judge Brian Cogan denied Joaquin El Chapo Guzman’s request to receive visits from his wife Emma Coronel and their daughters.
Chapo’s request was denied because the “conditions of confinement” imposed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons cannot be modified by the Eastern District Court of New York, according to CBS News reports.
“His petition should be denied without prejudice for him to seek modification of his conditions of confinement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons,” Judge Cogan’s ruling states.
The drug trafficker also asked to have the right to two phone calls per month, 15 minutes each and detailed that since May 2023 he has not had access to this. Chapo Guzmán argued that the action is an act of discrimination.
Guzman sent a letter to federal judge Brian Cogan on March 20. It was filed in a New York court.
In August 2023, he also sent the same judge a letter with the requests.
