SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 4 – Alin Hanes Calugaru is
detained in the Metropolitan
Detention Center amid the
Coronavirus pandemic.
Initially
he was on the MDC's list of
inmates at high risk with
respect to COVID-19. But then
he was taken off, and updated
list is not public.
His
lawyer Jill R. Shellow on May
4 sought his release before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of the New
York Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Shellow was
chided for raising an issue
she could have raised in
writing. Assistant US
Attorney Samuel
P. Rochschild in writing told
Judge Swain that "MDC counsel
informed the Government of
Hanes's absence from that list
only in response to an inquiry
that the Government made after
Hanes moved for
reconsideration."
He conveyed the
MDC's "regret if there was any
noncompliance with the
Protocol for Attorney Calls
and Teleconference Hearings at
the MCC, MDC and GEO."
At the end
of the hearing, after an oral
ruling that it appeared Ms.
Shellow missed parts of, this:
"ORDER as to Alin Hanes
Calugaru: For the reasons
stated on the record today,
Mr. Hanes-Calugaru has not
sustained his burdens under 18
U.S.C. sections 3142(f) and
3142(i). Accordingly, his
motion for reconsideration of
the Court's order of
detention, or temporary
release, (docket entry no.
239), is denied. (Signed by
Judge Laura Taylor Swain on
5/4/2020) (ap) (Entered:
05/04/2020)."
The case is US v.
Hanes-Calugaru, 19-cr-651
(Swain).
