SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 18 -- Even amid the
Coronavirus COVID-19 crisis,
on March 17 Inner City Press reported
that for a large Bronx gang
"take-down" the Magistrates
Court was being moved in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
to a large courtroom on the
24th floor.
The move
came after complaints about
group arraignments by defense
lawyers, and calls for social
distancing. Inner City Press
covered seven proceedings in
Courtroom 24B on March 17, on
narcotics,
immigration
and "hoaxes."
On the
afternoon of March 18, from
the US Attorney's Office Press
Office, the other shoe
dropped, see below. And in
Courtroom 24B the defendants
were bought in one by one,
with masks covering their
mouths, at least one coughing
loudly.
US
Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman
came in to watch, conferring
briefly with his Assistant US
Attorney Danielle Sassoon.
(Downstairs in 5A, which US
Attorney Berman also visited,
his Office's request for a
stay of a Dominicant
extraditee was denied by the
presiding Magistrate Judge and
appealed to Part 1).
The legal
issues in 24B were not
confined to group
presentments. For defendant
Matthew Nieves, Berman's AUSA
proposed release on the
condition he not move back
into 3063 Hull Avenue.
But, his
lawyer said, Nieves' wife and
their two kids live there.
Judge Aaron declined to impose
that condition, and the
prosecutors said they will
appeal, presumably to the
March 19 Part 1 judge, Chief
Judge Colleen McMahon. Watch
