Woman From Norway Still Jailed For Threatening US Judge Who Vacates Civil Contempt Order

BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 10 – A woman from Norway is in US Federal custody charged with threatening a US judge. Inner City Press was in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court late on January 9 when, as the last case, Dana Marie Eiden was brought into the courtroom in shackles.

    It was explained that there are two cases against her, one now involving "civil contempt" and a second one, still not even listed in the PACER court system database, for threatening the judge. 

  The civil case began in 2018 before then-District Judge Richard J. Sullivan. Per Magne Eiden asserted that Dana Marie Eiden had kept their children in the US against his well, and allegedly against the Hague Convention.

    Flash-forward to late 2019, and Per Magne's lawyers at Gourvitz & Gourvitz ("We Think Outside The Box") were urging now Circuit Judge Sullivan to "issue an immediate arrest warrant for Ms. Eidem." Apparently they prevail: Ms. Eiden is locked up, now also with a criminal case for threatening a judge.

    Ms. Eiden's Federal Defender declined on January 9 to make a bail argument, instead asking to re-appear before Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman on January 10 after 4:30 pm proceeding before Judge Sullivan, noticed to be in Courtroom 15C which has already been assigned to new Judge Lewis J. Liman.

  On January 10 the civil case was moved up to 2 pm. Inner City Press went: Ms. Eiden was brought out in shackles. Mr. Eiden's lawyers called in and said Mr Eiden and the children have flown back to Norway. Judge Sullivan vacated the civil contempt order - but Ms. Eidem is still locked up, pending a bail proceeding before Magistrate Judge Freeman.

   Inner City Press will continue to cover both cases - and the new judge. More on Patreon here.
