EDNY COURTHOUSE,
September 1 – A prisoner who
allegedly assaulted a
Corrections Officer in
Brooklyn's Metropolitan
Detention Center was not
produced on September 1 by the
US Bureau of Prisons. The
judge said he must be, next
week, or she'd hold the BOP
facility in contempt of
court.
U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York
Chief Judge Margo K. Brodie
held the proceeding. Inner
City Press, now covering the
EDNY, live tweeted it here:
Now EDNY
case of US v. Destin Burks -
he is in the SHU [Special
Housing Unit] after allegedly
assaulting a Corrections
Officer.
They have not
produced him; Marshals refuse
to transport him, outside
contractor only. After Burks
allegedly assault a
Corrections Officer in MDC
Brooklyn, BOP moved him to FDC
Philadelphia. But Marshall
will not transport him to
Cadman Plaza.
Initial cases
were gun use on Staten Island.
He's written a letter to the
judge...
They are
discussing Burks, without him
present.
Here is his
letter to EDNY Judge: Letter –
#42 in United States v. Burks
(E.D.N.Y, 1:20-cr-00278) –
CourtListener.com Letter
undated from Destin Burks,
defendant requesting leniency
as to Destin Burks. (Guzzi,
Roseann) (Entered:
06/07/2022)
Although Burke's
letter was addressed to EDNY
Judge Allyne Ross, this
proceeding is overseen by EDNY
Chief Judge Margo Brodie. She
is ordering BOP to produce
Burke on Sept 8 at 10 am or
she will hold the facility in
contempt
Inner City
Press will continue to follow
this and other EDNY (and SDNY,
and DDC) cases.
