SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 28 – The entire sentencing
submission by Tomas Colon,
described as the "leader of a
major drug trafficking
organization," was filed under
seal on November 16.
That evening,
Inner City Press wrote to U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Valerie E. Caproni
questioning and challenging
the sealing.
On November
20, Judge Caproni ordered the
defense to by November 28
"show cause why he should not
be required to file a public
version of his sentencing
submission redacted only to
protect sensitive information
that is not already public."
Colon's sentencing was pushed
back to December
1.
On November 27
Colon's counsel asked to seal
even his response to the OTSC.
Inner City Press filed
opposition, which Judge
Caproni docketed and denied
the sealing. Order and filing
on DocumentCloud here. Watch
this site.
This comes
as, for example, all of the
sentencing letters of OneCoin
crypto currency fraudster
Sebastian Greenwood were
sealed, regarding which Inner
City Press filed a notice of
appeal and is now seeking pro
bono appellate counsel to
pursue.
Sentencing
materials must be public, to
understand the bases of
sentencing. Watch this site.
This case
is US v. Colon, 18-cr-526
(Caproni)
