SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 30 – Shendale Jarrett
stands accused of having two
.38 bullets in The Bronx while
a felon.
On April
30, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lorna G. Schofield
held a conference on the case,
amid the COVID-19 pandemic,
covered by Inner City
Press.
Jarrett's
able Federal Defense Julia L.
Gatto said things should be
adjourned, understandable,
since it is not clear when the
Coronavirus crisis will be
over in New York. These two
bullets were put off until
June 4. The case is US v.
Jarrett, 19-cr-670
(Schofield).
In a case that
was not put off, because it
couldn't be, and is now part
of the "string-cite" SDNY
Judge Failla said on April 30
she did not want her decision
that day to become a part of,
on November 28, 2018 Dejan
Nikolic was placed in the
Orange County Jail in
connecition with a removal
proceeding at the Varick
Street Immigration Court. He
has Hepatitis-C.
On April 3
his habeus corpus petition was
heard by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Lorna G.
Schofield.
Nikolic's lawyer told Judge
Schofield that the jail had
not been treating him for his
Hepatitis-C. Judge Schofield
called that a serious problem,
beyond #COVID19. She suggested
that if she released him, he
should call Urgent Care, given
that hospitals are
overburdened by
Coronavirus.
Nikolic's lawyer said that in
Orange County Jail, there's at
least one presumptive positive
test for Coronavirus among
inmates.
Assistant US Attorney Brandon
Waterman in a letter filed
just before the hearing that
Inner City Press was the only
media to cover had written
that "There is one ICE
detainee and two county
inmates who are symptomatic...
One Orange County C.O. has
tested positive for COVID-19.
This officer is in isolation /
quarantine at home."
Judge Schofield ordered
Nikovic released, later on
April 3, with an ankle
monitor. She ordered him to
comply with New York Executive
Order 202.6 and remain in his
home with lawful allowances
for activities such as
obtaining food and other
necessities, obtaining medical
and mental health treatment,
and working. The case is
Nikolic v. Decker, et al.,
20-cv-2500 (Schofield).
