SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 5 – Henry Ogbuokiri
is charged with bank fraud and
aggravated identity
theft.
On May 19, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Katherine Polk
Failla held a change of plea
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Ogbuokiri said he
deposited fraudulent checks.
His lawyer said
he's south of New York, so
travel to the plea proceeding
was avoided.
On November
5, 2021, Judge Failla held the
sentencing for Daryl Bartley,
who previously pled guilty. He
is sick and made a pitch for
no jail time. Judge Failla
noted his 26 criminal justice
points, criminal history level
six, resulting in a 27 month
guideline. But showing
compassion she decided on home
incarceration, with the threat
of jail as enforcement. She
said, I hope I don't see you
again in this context.
Meanwhile on
September 23 Judge Failla held
a proceeding for the named
defendant, Oladayo Oladokun.
It focused on the government's
ability to search a car if
officer saw inside a bank
deposit slip. The defense said
this is too broad. The AUSA
said that even seeming
innocent items could be used
in this scheme.
The case is US v.
Oladokun et al., 20-cr-3
(Failla)
