SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, April 1- In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on March 31, a detention
or release proceeding was held
by Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave on a short man arrested
that morning in a
multi-defendant drug gang
sweep in The Bronx.

the SDNY
Magistrates
Court as it
has The Bronx,
sometimes
alone in the
gallery, as it
was on March
31. Story here.
The man,
Joseph Rivera, was aka-ed in
the unsealed complaint as
"Shorty." Most of his
co-defendants got detained,
but the Assistant US Attorney
in this case said Rivera could
be released on his own
signature, with two weeks to
find two co-signers for a
$75,000 bond (and to come back
on April 1 for a GPS
bracelet).
The reason?
Rivera is the sole caretaker
for his mother, who has
dementia. Judge Cave thanked
the parties for their
compassion.
On April
1, another co-defendant was
present, also named in Counts
14 and 15. He was detained -
on consent, with time excluded
until May 2.
The case is US v.
Done, et al., 22-cr-192
