MEDICAL TREATMENT OF
PRETRIAL DETAINEES
This is before the Court on its own notice regarding requests for medical, dental
and eye care from pretrial detainees. The Court finds that counsel is often seeking orders
for treatment for defendants that have not followed the proper detention facility protocols
for obtaining treatment. Therefore, the Court will require all defendants consult with the
detention center and if necessary the United States Marshals service regarding treatment
for medical (including medication not discussed below), dental, and vision issues before
filing a motion to receive these services.
All motions for medical (including medication not discussed below), dental , and
vision services shall have a statement of defendant's attempts to receive these services
through the proper channels and a statement that counsel has conferred with Jason Griess
of the U.S. Marshals Service prior to filing the motion. Any motion failing to set forth
these procedures will be denied for failure to follow this Order.
Requests for mental health treatment and mental health medication are excluded
from this order and counsel may file motions for mental health evaluations and mental
health medications without following the above stated procedures.
IT IS ORDERED that all pretrial detainees in all facilities shall follow the above
stated procedures before filing a motion for medical (including medication not discussed
below), dental or vision care. Failure to follow the procedures will result in an automatic
denial of the motion, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that requests for mental health treatment and mental
health medication are exempt from these requirements and counsel may file motions for
mental health treatment and mental health medication without following the above stated
procedures.
