SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 17– Sunita Kumar was
charged in 2017 with health
care fraud, "by seeking
reimbursement for prescription
drugs which were never
distributed to customers."
On December
22, 2020 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge William H.
Pauley III held a charge of
plea proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Pauley
asked Kumar what she had done.
She spoke of a
pharmacy in Brooklyn, and
fraud.
Ultimately in
2022 she was sentenced to time
served and three years of
supervised relief.
Jump cut to
February 17, 2025 when her
lawyer wrote in recounting
that while the US Attorney's
Office had been ordered to
respond by December 13, 2024
to a request for terminate
supervision, and then again by
January 31, nothing was
submitted. So defense counsel
is asking that the court - now
Judge Ronnie Abrams to whom it
was reassigned - "grant
counsel's request."
The case is USA
v. Kumar, 1:17-cr-703 (Abrams)
