SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 4 -- Back on March 14,
2019 a couple was found dead
of a drug overdose in an
apartment on Lafayette Avenue
in The Bronx. The next day the
New York City authorities
attributed the deaths to
cocaine and fentanyl.
An
investigation ensued, included
described controlled drug buys
leading to a February 3, 2020
complaint against four people
including Bobby Ramos and
Tyrone Howard.
These two,
after arrest, was scheduled
for arraignment on March 9
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
But, "[d]ue to an error by the
Government's clerk's office,
Mr. Howard and Mr. Ramos were
not ordered produced for the
scheduled arraignment."
Assistant US Attorney Juliana
N. Murray wrote to Judge
Caproni to request a new date
on March 11.
Inner City
Press, already in 40 Foley
Square to cover a sex
trafficking trial before Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer, ran to
cover the arraignment. Judge
Caproni moves fast.
But even at 3:05
pm she was naming April 30 for
the next conference, at which
she said she aims to name a
trial date. A defense lawyer
said he'd write to the court
about discovery - including
the extraction of seized smart
phones - on April 28.
Now on
August 4, moving fast again,
Judge Caproni has ordered that
all pre-trial motions are due
on or before October 15 and
replies by November 19. Time
has been excluded.
The case is US v.
Burgos, et al., 20-cr-189
(Caproni).
