SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 27 – Noe Villa Rios is in
jail based on a law
enforcement stop in Missouri
yielding 12 kilograms of
cocaine.
Back on April 20, 2021, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl held a
bond proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
The US
Attorney's Office's detention
filing cites a "steal
narcotics press," in a Stash
House the defendant was living
in.
The defense
attorney, arguing for release,
emphasized that the Stash
House had common areas.
Judge Koeltl
denied release.
On July 27, Judge
Koeltl held a conference on
and with co-defendant Alfredo
Rodriguez. It emerged that a
guilty plea may be in the
offing. Judge Koeltl said he
liked to take his own pleas
and will in this case, unless
it's in the last two weeks of
August. In any event a
September 28 further
conference was set.
On September 28
the case Inner City Press
covered Judge Koeltl's
proceeding on Melvin Nathan
Beltre, whose lawyer said they
are "far apart" and asked for
30 days to decide whether to
file motions.
Judge Koeltl set
another conference for October
28 and excluded time "to allow
the parities to discuss a
disposition short of trial."
The overall case
is US v. Beltre, 21-cr-155
(Koeltl)
