COURTHOUSE,
April 2 – Andrell Dukes was
indicted for assaulting a US
Postal Services worker in the
Morgan Processing and
Distribution Center in
Manhattan.
On
December 6 Dukes came to plead
guilty before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.
Willis, as covered by Inner
City Press.
District
Judge Lorna G. Schofield had
set a trial date of January
29, 2024. That appears to have
focused the mind. Dukes met
his Federal Defender in the
hallway of the SDNY (he is out
on bond) and they proceed
upstairs and pled guilty.
Magistrate Judge Willis is
recommending acceptance of the
plea.
On March 15,
2024, Federal Defenders asked
that Dukes be given a
non-incarceratory sentence, on
a guideline of 12 to 18
months, and a recommendation
by Probation of six month
prison, six months home
confinement.
On April 2 Judge
Schofield imposed a nine month
sentence. Dukes' Federal
Defender after that spoke more
about the MDC, and anger
management. Surrender date was
pushed back from May 17 to
July 1.
Meanwhile in another
Judge Schofield case
unrelated to this one
(but related to
another more recently filed,
pro se and now in
forma pauperis), a request
to unseal and act, made
two days ago, remains
pending, unlike a similar
anti-SLAPP unsealing request
acted on by Judge Preska.

This postal case
is US v. Dukes, 22-cr-581
