SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 23–
James Garlick
faces trial on
June 5 as a
felon in
possession of
a firearm,
found with a
gun on 162nd
Street and
Jerome Avenue
by Yankee
Stadium in The
Bronx on
August 27,
2022.
In
2013 after a
trial, Garlick
was convicted
of
manslaughter.s
Now Garlick
wants to
represent
himself.
On
May 17, U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Valerie E.
Caproni held a
Faretta
hearing and
determined
that Garlick
can represent
himself. But
there is no
movement in
the date of
the trial,
which Inner
City Press
aims to cover.
On
May 19,
Federal
Defenders
wrote it
wanting out
even as
standby
counsel, their
relationship
having
"irreparable
broken down."
Judge Caproni
on May 19
ordered: "the
parties must
appear for a
status
conference on
Monday, May
22, 2023 at
11:00 A.M."
Inner
City Press,
after an 11 am
Magistrates
Court
proceeding,
ran to the
courtroom and
was helpfully
told that
Garlick will
proceed pro
per.
Subsequently
docketed:
"ORDER as to
James Garlick:
IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that
for the
reasons stated
at the May 22,
2023 hearing,
the Federal
Defenders'
motion is
DENIED.
Although the
Federal
Defenders will
remain as
standby
counsel for
Mr. Garlick,
the Court will
not alert the
jury to their
presence or
role. IT IS
FURTHER
ORDERED that,
in light of
Mr. Garlick's
adamance that
he does not
want the
assistance of
standby
counsel, the
Court's
previous
direction to
the Federal
Defenders to
provide a
"clothing
order" for Mr.
Garlick is
vacated. IT IS
FURTHER
ORDERED that
the Final
Pre-Trial
Conference is
rescheduled to
Wednesday, May
31, 2023."
On
May 23, this:
"MEMO
ENDORSEMENT as
to James
Garlick denied
[74] LETTER
MOTION
addressed to
Judge Valerie
E. Caproni
from Marne
Lynn Lenox
dated May 23,
2023 re:
Filing
documents and
bond.
ENDORSEMENT:
Application
DENIED in
part. To the
extent any
submission Mr.
Garlick wishes
to make to the
Court is too
long to
include in an
email via
Corrlinks to
his standby
counsel
(standby
counsel
should, as it
did with this
submission,
simply cut and
paste Mr.
Garlick's
submissions
and not make
any edits to
them), he must
make the
submission to
the Court via
regular mail
or, if he can
do so in a
timely way,
must bring
them to Court
in person. The
parties must
appear for a
bail hearing
on Friday, May
26, 2023 at
10:45 A.M. in
Courtroom 443,
Thurgood
Marshall U.S.
Courthouse, 40
Foley Square,
New York, NY.
Mr. Garlick
must submit
his responses
to the
Government's
motions in
limine at the
hearing. His
deadline to
respond is,
therefore,
extended from
Thursday, May
25, 2023 to
Friday, May
26, 2023 at
10:45 A.M. The
Government
must determine
whether Mr.
Garlick has
access to the
discovery
laptop and, if
not, why not,
and must file
a status
update not
later than
Wednesday, May
24, 2023 at
5:00 P.M. The
Court notes
that Mr.
Garlick did
not raise any
issues
regarding his
access to
discovery
during
yesterday's
proceeding.
Mr. Garlick is
warned that
any such
difficulties
must be
promptly
brought to the
Court's
attention. SO
ORDERED."
The
case is US v.
Garlick,
22-cr-540
