| In SDNY Murky Mag Court Turbi With
Immigration Issue Joins Ayala With Medical
Off the Record

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 24 – While
many even most
cases in the
Magistrates
Court of the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed, on
June 24
Magistrate
Judge Robert
W. Lehrburger
in processing
a
defendant
named Hector
Turbi referred
to an
already
arraigned
co-defendant
Ricardo Ayala,
from
which Inner
City Press
could dig
backwards into the
case.
Earlier in the
month on June
12 Ayala was
arraigned in
the Mag
Court by
Magistrate
Judge
Katharine H.
Parker. Even
then Assistant
US Attorney
Michael
Longyear said
a conference
had been set
before
District Judge
William H.
Pauley III for
June 26 at
12:30. There
was a medical
request, off
the record.
On June
24 Longyear
apologize for
throwing the
curveball that
Turbi was
there not only
for
presentment
but also
arraignment,
two days
before his
joint
conference
with Ayala
before Judge
Pauley. Turbi
was picked up
in Boston and
arrived, it
sounded like,
by market
transport. His
lawyer did not
seek bond,
saying "there
is an
immigration
issue to track
down." Before
June 26? Watch
this site. O
Hector Lebron was sent to
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York in
April by
Northern
District of
Ohio Judge
James G. Carr
- and then was
forgotten for
more than two
months in the
Metropolitan
Correctional
Center in
lower
Manhattan.
On SDNY Magistrate
Judge Sarah
Netburn began what
her Deputy
said was the
last case of
the day by
asking when the
defendant
before her
came into SDNY
custody. The
answer
was
surprising:
Lebron was "writted over"
on April 24, from
a
Federal court
in Ohio, had
been forgotten
since then and
now should
have a hearing
before SDNY
District
Judge Alison
Nathan, date
not yet set.
Inner
City Press was
the only media
in the
Magistrates
Court and strained
forward to
hear the
number of the
case, but none
was given.
Only afterward
was it
able on the
PACER terminal in
the SDNY Press
Room to
find a Judge
Nathan case
involving
Hector Lebron.
But this once
dated back to
February 2014,
with Lebron on
Supervised
Release until
October 31,
2018, signed
by then SDNY
Judge Mary M.
Lisi and
Magistrate
Ronald L.
Ellis.
Further
research by
Inner City
Press found an
April 6, 2019
order by Judge
James G. Carr
Sr. of the
U.S. District
Court for the
Northern
District of
Ohio that
Lebron by
remanded to
the custody of
the U.S.
Marshall and transferred
to a "facility
as close to
New York as
possible."
The MCC
is right next
to the SDNY
courthouses
and the U.S.
Attorney's
Office. But no
one knew Lebron was
there for two
months. On
June 21 in the
empty Mag
Court the
Assistant U.S.
Attorney said
his colleague,
on trial, had
only seen
the e-mail the
night before.
Judge Netburn
said she would
investigate it,
and told Mr.
Lebron she wasn't
sure it was
her apology to
make...
