SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 29 –
Paul Daugerdas,
white collar criminal serving
time for fraudulent tax
shelters, on April 29 argues
for release from his 70 month
long imprisonment in the
Federal camp at Marion, before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge William H. Pauley III.
Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Pauley quickly noted, No
positive COVID-19 tests at
Marion.
Defense lawyer Henry Mazurek
said, Yeah but... He
said Daugerdas is obese,
putting him at risk of
Coronavirus.
Judge Pauley said, I've
reviewed Mr. Daugerdas'
medical record at the Marion
Camp. I did not see any
reference in there to heart
disease, until I saw your
papers. He brought up the
release of Dean Skelos ordered
for April 30 from Otisville,
who'd yet to serve 50% of his
sentence, which Inner City
Press also covered, here.
Assistant US Attorney Stanley
Okula called Daugerdas the
"kingpin of the biggest tax
fraud," emphasized that he's
served less than 40% of his
sentence and has not accepted
responsibility. He chided
Mazurek for only saying his
client must have thought about
it during his nights in
prison.
Judge Pauley asks AUSA Okula
why the US Attorney's Office
is opposed to him recommending
to BOP that they furlough
Daugerdas.
AUSA Okula said, Release from
Marion to Chicago is not going
to put him in a better
sitution.
Mazurek
cites Judge Ronnie Abrams'
decision last week in Park,
which Inner City Press also
covered, here.
Mazurek says he
represented two other inmates
at Otisville, from which he
noted Dean Skelos was released
yesterday. He said that
furlough is for when there are
less than 12 months left in a
sentence, that he wants
compassionate release, under
Section 3624.
Judge Pauley said he is
reserving but will decide it
quickly. The case is US v.
Daugerdas, et al., 18-cr-152
(Pauley).
