SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 9 – Alexander Matias,
detained in the Metropolitan
Correctional Center in lower
Manhattan after being arrested
in November 2019 on drug and
gun charges in Yonkers, had
temperature of 102.8 F on
March 31.
On April 9 he
sought release for
imprisonment before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Laura Taylor
Swain.
Assistant
US Attorney Jacob H. Gutwillig
at first said his temperature
had been 101 degrees - but
later corrected that to 102.8
F.
Defense lawyer Frederick L.
Sosinsky said that is hardly
consistent with having a cold.
But his client had previously
evaded probation in North
Carolina, it was argued.
Ultimately
Judge Swain denied his
application for release. The
case is US v. Matias, 20-cr-40
(Swain).
