SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 – Evan Pena was arrested
on narcotics charges at 4:15
pm on January 29. But it was
more than 24 hours later when
he was presented before U.S.
District Court from the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge James L. Cott
- whose first question was
about the delay.
Assistant
US Attorney Daniel Nissem
apologized, saying he had been
occupied at a change of plea
proceeding before SDNY
District Judge Sidney H.
Stein. (Inner City Press was
there, too, see story here.)
Judge Cott
asked why AUSA Fiddleman had
not taken his place. Nessim
replied that he had been the
one who worked on the
complaint and again
apologized. There was another
AUSA involved, being trained
in first week, who we'll leave
unnamed here.
After the
interchange, Pena was detained
on consent without prejudice;
his case is either sealed or
not yet entered into PACER. It
is US v. Pena, 20-mj-1111
(Cott).
