SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, August 11 -
In the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on August 8, a detention
or release proceeding was held
by Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger on a defendant,
Najera Barrios, charged with
three kilos of cocaine and
fentanyl in Pittsburgh. Inner
City Press was there.
Najera
Barrios is based in Arizona.
The Assistant US Attorney
emphasized he hasn't told his
significant other he'd done to
Mexico. But as Judge
Lehrburger pointed out, that's
near Arizona.
But ultimately
Judge Lehrburger ordered the
defendant detained, to be
transported to the Western
District of Pennsylvania.
Then the
Assistant US Attorney said
that since the defense would
not consent to sealing the
transcript - as happened
recently before Magistrate
Judge James L. Cott, despite
and after Inner City Press'
opposition - they would not
ask for it to be sealed. So it
is not.
Inner City
Press, the only media in the
SDNY Magistrates Court, will
have more on this exclusive.
The case is US v.
Najera Barrios, 22-mj-6422
(Lehrburger)
