SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 8 – In a Paycheck
Protection Program fraud
prosecution of Apocalypse
Bella, Mackenzy Toussaint and
others, a defense lawyer is
being summoned to New York,
seemingly to be fired by the
judge.
On
September 8 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Toussaint's
lawyer Bret Martin, who said
his Texas office is 15 minutes
from where Toussaint lives,
had missed the prior
proceeding.
He cited a
medical procedure for his
daughter, but was asked why he
had not contacted the court,
or arranged to get the
transcript of the proceeding
that he missed.
Eventually he was
ordered to come to New York
with his client on September
15, in person, and to be
prepared to discusses his
retainer agreement.
The case is US v.
Bella, et al., 21-cr-247
(Engelmayer)
