SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 9 – After being sentenced
to 15 months imprisonment for
wire fraud by U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge Jed
S. Rakoff, Ms. Chinese Fisher
was presented on December 9
before SDNY Magistrate Judge
Sarah L. Cave for having
failed to report to
Probation.
Assistant US
Attorney Michael Longyear, who
back in 2017 argued for a
sentence of at least 27 months
for Fisher, on December 9
emphasized that when Probation
went to arrest her, she did
not open the door. He alluded
to more recent wire fraud. He
asked for detention.
Fisher's representative
Deveraux Cannick, the CJA
lawyer on duty for the day,
told Judge Cave that Fisher is
the primary care given for her
disabled brother, identified
in his predecessor Gregory S.
Watts' 2017 sentencing
submission as Fabian Andrews.
Judge Cave, in her first full
week presiding over the SDNY
Magistrates Court, took a
break to the robing room to
reflect. Some twenty minutes
later she emerged and set
conditions for release,
including home detention
pending an appearance before
Judge Rakoff. The case is US
v. Fisher, 16-cr-750
(Rakoff / Cave).
