A New York judge has denied Foxy Brown’s request to be released from jail early so she can travel to California to repair an electronic ear implant. 
Brown, born Inga Marchand, is serving a one-year prison sentence on Rikers Island for repeatedly violating the terms of her 2004 probation.
On January 17, Brown’s attorney Laura Dilimetin asked acting state Supreme Court Justice Melissa Jackson to amend the rapper’s sentence, so she could visit Los Angeles’ House Clinic tomorrow, where she received her initial treatment for her hearing loss.
State Supreme Court Judge Melissa Jackson ruled against the Brown’s petition last Thursday (January 24). Prosecutors argued that the 29-year-old rapper can receive the treatment that she needs in New York and labeled the request a “desperate and frivolous petition.”
