SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 – NYPD Officer Eduardo
Rodriguez pled guilty to bank
fraud charges on January 6 in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrates Court.
He
allocuted to misleading a bank
in The Bronx as to the purpose
of a loan. He will be
sentenced on April 24 before
SDNY Judge William H. Pauley
III, and under his plea
agreement cannot appeal any
sentence below 18 months.
Rodriguez was initially
presented in the SDNY
Magistrates Court on July 2;
Inner City Press filed a
report, here.
On July 9, he filed a CJA 23
Form or financial affidavit
seeking a publicly-paid
lawyer. On July 10, the US
Attorney's office filed a
letter seeking to inspect his
CJA 23 form.
The
assigned CJA lawyer Florian
Miedel opposed disclosure of
the form, citing a decision by
then District Judge Richard J.
Sullivan allowing a defendant
file to financial information
under seal and ex parte
in support of his request for
appoint counsel. US v.
Fawaz, 12-cr-120, Doc.
11, filed August 1, 2012.
Ulimately, Rodriguez like his
co-defendant Ricardo Taboada
has pled guilty. A third
co-defendant Daniel Duran,
represented by Bronx-based
Murray Richmond, continues to
request from Judge Pauley
permission for travel; his
status is unclear. The overall
case is US v. Taboada et
al., 19-cr-117 (Pauley).
