v Doe Inner
City Press Is
Asked To Leave
With No SDNY
Docket Number
or Basis

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 25 – A
defendant was
processed for
fifty minutes
in a sealed
proceeding on
May 25, 2023
in the
Magistrates
Court of the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New
York.
Inner
City Press,
the only media
in the SDNY
Mag Court,
asked that the
docket number
and basis for
sealing be put
on the record.
The
answer was,
"No."
Others
remained in
the courtroom
-- two
Assistant US
Attorneys, who
before the
sealing were
discussing
"suretors,"
implying that
that defendant
was being
charged and
released on
bond, and at
least one
lawyer beyond
the one who
represented
the
defendant.
The lawyer who
represented
the defendant
loudly
explained why
he had not yet
effectively
filed pro hac
vice papers,
that the state
at issue
required five
days to give a
certificate of
good standing.
Only Inner
City Press
left, and the
courtroom door
was locked
behind
it.
The
proceeding was
not short.
It
took fifty
minutes,
during which
time in the
hallways
outside the
courtroom
Inner City
Press struck
up a
conversation
with the
defendant in
the next case,
and witness
what seemed to
be a
controversial
celebrity
emerge from
the US
Attorney
Office's
doorways down
the hall.

detailed on
Substack here.
The
case, for now,
is US v. Doe,
