SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 11 – A woman charged with
pushing a Court Security
Officer in January 2016 in 500
Pearl Street in lower
Manhattan now faces 10 days in
the Metropolitan Detention
Center starting January 18, in
quarantine.
On December
12 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron held a telephone
conference "to address the
Defendant's surrender date."
Inner City Press covered
it.
The
defendant, Lidya Maria Radin,
spoke for herself, at length.
She said she wanted to move
for Judge Aaron to recuse
himself.
She disputed the
last of certified transcript
in the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals, which upheld her
conviction after a four day
bench trial before then
Magistrate Judge Henry B.
Pitman, which was previous
affirmed by Judge Richard J.
Sullivan, himself now on the
Second
Circuit.
Judge Aaron
listened, while Radin's shadow
counsel offered apologies.
Finally he noted his contempt
powers under 28 USC 626(e)(2)
"Summary criminal
contempt authority.— A
magistrate judge shall have
the power to punish summarily
by fine or imprisonment, or
both, such contempt of the
authority of such magistrate
judge constituting misbehavior
of any person in the
magistrate judge’s presence so
as to obstruct the
administration of
justice."
With that,
the proceeding was over. Will
Ms. Radin show up on January
18?
The case is US v.
Radin, 16-cr-528
(Aaron).
