SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 3 – Donald Trump filed a
first notice of removal
to Federal court of Manhattan
DA Alvin Bragg's indictment of
him in state court, on May 4,
2023.
The notice
was assigned to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams, but was quickly
reassigned to Judge Alvin
Hellerstein, as Inner City
Press reported.
Jump cut to
August 29, 2024, after Trump
was found guilty on 34 counts
before NYS Justice Juan
Merchan. With sentencing
looming on September 18, Trump
lawyer's filed a second notice
of removal, filed with Judge
Hellerstein, emphasizing the
Supreme Court's immunity
decision and "Federal
interests." Filing on Patreon
here.
At 4:15 pm on
Friday, August 30 this:
"DEFICIENT PLEADING. Notice to
Attorney Emil Bove to RE-FILE
re: Document No. [46] Notice
of Removal. The filing is
deficient for the following
reason(s): Court's leave has
not been granted; the order
granting permission to file
the pleading was not attached.
Re-file and attach either
opposing party's written
consent or Court's leave.."
On September 3
leave was sought - and at 5
pm, Judge Hellerstein denied
removal, stating that nothing
in the Supreme Court's
immunity decision affects his
previous findings. Ruling on
