TO: HONORABLE JUDGE: ALFRED COVELLO
FROM! JOSEPH L.GUY #14012-014
Dear JUDGE.
I'AM WRITTING YOU TO INFORM YOU OF THE PROGRESS,I'VE MADE WHILE I HAVE BEEN IN PRISON
THESE LAST 65 MONTHS OF A 120 MONTH SENTENCE I RECIEVED IN YOUR COURT IN THE YEAR 2002. MY
CHARGE WAS CONSPIRACY TO SELL CRACK COCAIN. I ALSO WANT TO JOG YOUR MEMORY A LITTLE BIT OF
MY PREVIOUS DRUG ADDICTION BEFORE MY ARREST AND MY RECOVERY EFFORTS AFTER A REALIZED WHAT
MY ADDICTION HAD COST ME. I ALLOWED MYSELF TO BE UED AS A MULE TO PASS OFF DRUGS TO FEED
MY ADDICTION IN RETURN. IF I HAD NOT BEEN USING I WOULD HAVE NEVER PLACE MYSELF OR MY
WIFE AND CHILDREN THROUGH THESE LONG YEARS OF SEPERATION. AFTER I WAS ADMITTED INTO THE
ADRC REHIBILITATION PROGRAM AT MT. SINAI HOSPITAL, WHICH WAS ENCOURAGED BY MY ACTING PRE-
TRIAL PROBATION OFFICER, KOTIA LOPEZ AND ALSO OK'ED BY YOURSELF I'AM GREATFUL TO SAY I
HAVE BEEN SOBER EVER SINCE.I WAS ON PRETRIAL FOR 19 MONTHS AND IN THAT TIME I MAINTAIN MY
SOBRIATY,WORKED TWO CNSTANT JOBS AND DID NUMEROUS SIDE JOBS. WHILE ALSO BEING A FATHER TO
MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND A HUSBAND TO MY WIFE. I EXCEPTED RESPONSABILITY FOR MY ACTIONS AND
YOU BROUGHT ME DOWN FROM A LINE 36 TO LINE33 THAN BECAUSE OF ALL MY RECOVERY EFFORTS YOU
SEEN FIT TO COME TO THE MANDATORY MINIMUM. I ALSO RECALL YOU ASKING THE PROSERCUTION IF
I HAD HELP THEM AT ALL AND IF I DID WOULD THEY CONSIDER A LIGHTER SENTENCE. WHEN THEY ANSWERED
NO ,I CAN REMEMBER YOU STATING THAT YOUR HANDS WERE? TIED BECAUSE OF THE GUIDELINES INSTITUTED
BY CONGRESS. IF THERE WERE SOMETHING MORE YOU COULD DO AT THAT TIME TO LESSING MY SENTENCE
YOU WOULD.JUDGE NOW THERE ARE NEW LAWS IN PLACE SOME ARE MORE HELPFUL THAN OTHERS. SOME
GIVES YOU O'HONORABLE JUDGE DESCRATION TO ACT AS YOU SEE FARE. I THROW MYSELF TO THE MERCY
OF YOUR HONORABLE COURT ASKING THAT IF THERE IS SOME WAY YOU CAN HELP LIGHTEN THIS SENTENCE
ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLEASE DO SO.I HAVE FILED A MOTION TO
YOUR COURT PROSE, I CANNOT AFFORD COHHOIE. IF THE COURTS CAN APPOINT SOME ONE TO ASSIT ME IT
WOULD BE MOST GREATFULLY APRECIATED.
ON THE NEXT PAGE IS SOMETHINGS I HAVE ACHIEVED OVER THE LAST SYEARS AND 5 MONTHS.
