FEDERAL COURT,
Dec 30 – Detroit Police were
on patrol on August 15 when,
according to Federal Special
Agent Jimmy Pharr, they
spotted a man with a gun. They
stopped him, and after he did
not produce a pistol license,
arrested him.
Then the case
went Federal.
On
December 30 Markalowe Keith
Steen appeared before U.S.
District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan
Magistrate Judge Patricia
Morris. Inner City Press
covered it.
The complaint
says this all took place in
the Grand Cru Liquor Store
parking lot, located at 5412
W. Warren Avenue in Detroit.
Only three days
ago, there was a police report
of a person hit with a bottle
in that parking lot, see
report on the Citizen app, here.
Lawyer Benton
Martin asked to get a copy of
the Detroit Police report,
which he had yet to see. Judge
Morris encouraged that it be
produced.
The case
had gone Federal because Steen
has a previous felony: the
charge is Felon in Possession.
Steen asked to
speak but was cautioned
against it. He nevertheless
said he is requesting a speedy
trial.
The case is US v.
Steen, 20-mj-30397

including (in DC District) RED
LAKE BAND OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS,
1:20-cv-03817:
the US Army
Corps of Engineers decision to let Enbridge
Energy to build a 330-mile pipeline
for tar sands oil from Canada is being sued
in DC Dist by the Red Lake Band of Chippewa
Indians & White Earth Band of Ojibwe.
US says
it has not been served. The papers are in
the mail, but USPS says they won't arrive
until January 5. Judge (this is in DC
District) says she can move fast, because of
COVID she is not going anywhere. She asks
the parties to agree to a briefing schedule
Assistant US
Attorney says the Corps of Engineers people
are on vacation, unreachable. They want more
time. Judge: Are they going to be back on
Monday? AUSA: That would be the first day.
This permit may have a truly massive record,
including state litigation.
Judge: I was
reversed some years ago for doing a TRO
without getting the administrative record
in. It's local rule 7(10)(1), it's gotten
better. Has there been other litigation?
Plaintiffs' counsel: Yes, at the state
level. And under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act.
Plaintiffs'
counsel: It's in the Minnesota Court of
Appeals. Judge: So we'll talk once you
reach the Army Corps of Engineers. Like I
said
