BEARINGS/T.RZALs: -

I) U.S. v. Bumagin, (SONY) - On January 18, 2002, a hearing was held
requesting that Judge Wood vacate her order requiring MCC New York to
transport inmate Semyon Bumagin, #18087-053 to his private dentist.
Les Owen, Attorney, MCC New York, presented the inmate's dental record
from MCC NY which documented that the tooth was decayed past the point
of filling and would have to be pulled. The·record also included the
inmate's signed "Refusal of Treatment" form. The institution offered
to have the inmate re-examined by MCC NY's new dentist. Judge Wood
agreed, advised the inmate he had no case, appreciated the offer of a
"second opinion" and vacated her order.
