Re: Armstrong Advocacy Letter
CLIENT NAME, CDCR NUMBER
Dear Mr. Mueller:
I write regarding CLIENT NAME, a prisoner at CIW who is designated as DNM. Ms. NAME
reports that the walker she has been issued is the wrong size and that as a result she has fallen several
times.
Ms. NAME attempted to resolve this problem by filing the enclosed appeal INSERT APPEAL
LOG NUMBER, explaining that she has fallen and that her walker is “the wrong size.” She requests that
her walker be replaced with a “standard size walker.” The appeal was denied on the grounds that “your
current walker was issued to you approximately one year ago and is good working order.” The response
does not address Ms. NAME’s claim that the walker issued by the prison is the wrong size, and it does not
appear that medical personnel evaluated Ms. NAME to determine whether the walker is the wrong size.
We request that Ms. NAME be evaluated by competent medical personnel to determine whether
her walker is the correct size for her, and if it is not, that she be issued a replacement walker that is the
appropriate size.
Please provide a report to Plaintiffs’ counsel regarding the status of this matter, including notes
from the medical evaluation, and information regarding whether and when Ms. NAME’s walker is being
replaced.
Sincerely,
ATTORNEY NAME
