COURTHOUSE,
July 1 – A man soon to end a
prison term for selling
narcotics over the Dark Web
has had his bid to shift his
supervised release from New
York to Florida rejected, at
least for now.
He pled
guilty to the charges in late
2021 accompanied by then SDNY
CJA lawyer Telesforo Del
Valle, whose sentencing memo
in the docket cited veiled
threats through social
media.
Now threats are
being cited among the reasons
to transfer supervision. At a
proceeding on July 1, 2024
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge John G. Koeltl,
twice counsel were summoned to
the sidebar and the white
noise turned up.
Ultimately
the defendant is to at least
begin supervision in New York,
with a subsequent application
to transfer to Florida
possible.
It was
called from the bench an
"unusual proceeding" and the
SDFL Probation negative
decision was deemed hard to
understand. White noise and
sealed documents in the vault
do not assist in shining a
light on this.
The case is US v.
Hassan, 21-cr-680 (Koeltl)
