SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 15 – Kevin R. Scott is
nearly the end of his
supervised
release.
On May 13, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge William H.
Pauley III held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
Scott did not
show up or call in.
Even the
defense lawyer expressed
concern. There was talk of
Scott going off his meds;
issues of competency and the
need for an evaluation were
discussed.
Judge Pauley said
he saw no alternative to
issuing an arrest warrant, as
Scott was a danger at least to
himself.
The warrant was
to be e-mailed to chambers.
On June 10, the
US Attorney's Office wrote to
Judge Pauley that the U.S.
Marshals have located Scott in
a residential substance abuse
treatment program, and that
since the Court wants him to
remain there, the arrest
warrant should be withdrawn.
And on June 15,
it was: "ORDER as to Kevin R.
Scott. The warrant issued on
May 13, 2021 for Mr. Scott's
arrest is hereby vacated
(Signed by Judge William H.
Pauley, III on 6/15/21)."
The case is US v.
Scott, 13-cr-962 (Pauley)
