Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is currently serving a 30-year sentence for various sex crime charges.<br \/>\nHis recent request was denied by Judge Martha Pacold, who stated that Kelly had filed his request in the wrong court.<br \/>\nShe explained that she lacked the jurisdiction to rule on his claims because Kelly is housed at FCI Butner in North Carolina, which is outside her judicial district.<br \/>\nJudge Pacold noted that Kelly did not provide a legal basis for the court\u2019s jurisdiction, leading to the denial of his emergency motion.<\/p>\n<p>Reaction from Kelly\u2019s Attorney<\/p>\n<p>Beau Brindley, Kelly\u2019s attorney, expressed disappointment but was not surprised by the ruling.<br \/>\nHe acknowledged that jurisdictional issues would be a challenge but felt compelled to act immediately due to what they believed was a credible threat to Kelly\u2019s life.<br \/>\nBrindley highlighted that Kelly experienced severe health issues, including black spots in his vision, and fell unconscious after allegedly receiving an overdose of medication from prison staff.<\/p>\n<p>Health Concerns and Hospitalization<\/p>\n<p>On June 13, Kelly reportedly woke up with vision problems and attempted to get up but collapsed.<br \/>\nHe crawled to his cell door before losing consciousness.<br \/>\nFollowing this incident, Kelly was taken to Duke University Hospital, where he remained for two days.<br \/>\nHis attorney stated that doctors recommended surgery for blood clots, which would require Kelly to stay in the hospital for two weeks.<br \/>\nHowever, shortly after prison officials were informed of his condition, armed officers entered his hospital room and removed him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c008 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.npr.org\/assets\/img\/2023\/02\/19\/gettyimages-1168903005-0ab14680c8c32279b059a8427b029ab21dfeff21.jpg\" alt=\"R.
