The singerof "I Believe I Can Fly" was placed under the restrictions of the Brooklyn Federal Prison, which was detained following last week's sentence.

In a court filed Tuesday morning, a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn said Kelly had been lifted from suicide surveillance in a metropolitan detention center and invalidated the proceedings.

Kelly's lawyer Jennifer Bonjan argued that it was disciplinary and unnecessary for her clients to be monitored.
"Mr. Kelly was put on suicide surveillance for purely disciplinary reasons in violation of the rights of Article 8 of the Constitutional Amendment," Bonjan said last week. He said in a statement before the proceedings were filed.
"MDC Brooklyn operates like Gulag. My partner and I spoke with Mr. Kelly following his ruling, he was mentally well. Yes, he only expressed concern that the MDC would put him in suicide surveillance, even if he did not commit suicide, "she added.
Bonjan has vowed to continue the proceedings despite the prison office's decision to remove the disgraceful R&B legend from suicide surveillance. She said in an email on Tuesday.
"As soon as BOP had to explain their decision, it was not surprising that they took him away and countered the motion. That's it. The proceedings will still go on, "she wrote.
