SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 2 – The lawyer for
OneCoin's money launderer Mark
Scott, Arlo Devlin-Brown, now
has a case before the same
judge, Edgardo Ramos, for
inmates in the prisons amid
COVID-19.
On May 29,
Judge Ramos had a pre oral
argument telephonic
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Paragraph 39 of the underlying
complaint states that on April
12, 2019, feces and urine
flooded the women's unit at
the MCC from pipes overhead
and toilets began to overflow
into cells."
On June 2,
Devlin-Brown described 11
South of the MCC, 26
inmates "cheek to jowl" - that
is, no social
distancing.
Judge Ramos
asked, What do you mean by
cohorting?
Devlin-Brown
replied, Grouping people. It's
not the best
practice.
Devlin-Brown quoted back to
Judge Ramos one of his
decisions in May, about when a
defendant claims it has fixed
the problems being sued
about.
Judge Ramos
said, I'm very familiar with
that case. And it's very
different from this case.
Meanwhile, Arlo's paying
client Mark Scott is going out
to dinner in Florida while
awaiting sentencing by Judge
Ramos. Perhaps this other
representation is benefiting
him?
The case is
Fernandez-Rodriguez et al v.
Licon-Vitale, 20-cv-3315
(Ramos).
