COURTHOUSE,
March 23 – In a
multi-defendant Bronx gang
case, the language of the
proposed protective order has
given rise to a dispute with
briefing to come.
On March
23, 2023 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Lewis J. Liman
arraigned three of the
defendants. Inner City Press
went and covered it.
All three
pleaded not guilty. One
defense lawyer disputed
including in the protective
order a line about witnesses
being under threat.
Judge Liman
pointed out that in bail
proceedings, Magistrate Judge
often make such findings. He
directed counsel to a recent
decision of his on protective
order, which he said should be
on Westlaw.
Defense counsel countered with
three recent SDNY cases in
which such language was not
included, two from the White
Plains courthouse and one by
Judge Hellerstein in 500 Pearl
Street. Judge Liman asked for
briefing, and set a next
conference for May 1.
The overall
case is US v. Perez, et al.,
23-cr-99 (Liman)
