SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 20 – A man who flagged
down the police and then was
charged with having a gun
asked to remain free on bail
on November 20. His request
was denied; even hours later
the case was labeled "sealed"
on PACER.
The
defendants name is Shakeil
Chandler. He works for CAMBA
in Brooklyn, like one of his
siblings. His mother works for
Cornell University. But he has
a previous conviction, and
that was that in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
before Magistrate Judge Sarah
Netburn. Perhaps there's more
in the file - but the case is
labeled "sealed." How is that
possible? The case is US
v. Chandler, 19-mj-10126
(Netburn).
Back on November
18 Miguel Nivar was presented
on a sealed charge of "felon
in possession" of a firearm or
ammunition before Judge
Netburn.
While the
U.S. Attorney's Office had
consented to release that very
night on a $25,000 bond, Judge
Netburn cited a policy of
Pre-Trial Services that no one
would be released until a home
visit was conducted by the
Service. (Minutes later a
defendant named Lin, a Chinese
national charged with money
laundering, was released
without any home visit).
Perhaps it
was because the government,
while purportedly offering
same-night release, also
wanted GPS monitoring. But it
remained murky: Lin had no
docket number, and Nivar's
case even hours later remained
"under seal" on PACER. Inner
City Press will have more on
this.
The case is
US v. Nivar,
19-mj-10179 (Netburn).
