SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 12 – A lawsuit against
Citigroup first filed in 2004
has now been transferred from
retired Magistrate Judge Henry
B. Pitman to new Magistrate
Judge Sarah L. Cave in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
And still at a conference on
November 12 many of the issues
involved Citigroup through its
law firm Cleary Gottlieb
seeking to strike and redact
documents from the docket and
otherwise withhold them from
the public.
Back
in May Inner City Press reported
on a conference in this
case, Advanced Analyics v.
Citigroup Global Markets,
at which then-Judge Pitman
granted a Citigroup motion to
seal, saying if the public
objected, maybe things would
be different.
The
question, of course, is how
would the public know?
On
November 20 Magistrate Judge
Cave began by proposing
language for Citigroup and
proposed intervenors to confer
and jointly write to the Court
if they reach an agreement. If
they don't, Citigroup would
have some 21 days to respond
to a motion.
Advanced Analytics lawyer
Peter J. Toren, different than
its counsel in May, asked to
be part of the process
including on the issue of how
much would be sealed. There is
also a pending motion for fees
against Toren; his request
defer it was denied by Judge
Cave.
Typically for
this case, the conference
ended with yet another
document Citigroup wants
sealed or further redacted.
Toren said there are three
versions "floating around."
The one in the docket is
repeatedly marked redacted,
with Cleary Gottlieb for
Citigroup to inform the court
by the end of November 14 how
much sealing it wants. The
case is Advanced Analyics
Inc. v. Citigroup Global
Markets, et al,
04-cv-3531 (Swain / Cave)
Next up in
December for Judge Cave, the
Magistrates Court, from which
earlier on November 12 this
story: police set up outside
931 East 181st Street in The
Bronx at 6:20 am on April 30,
hoping to catch domestic
violence suspect Gilberto
Minaya on his way to work.
As he
walked out then south on Daly
Avenue they apprehended him
from behind. "You
guys are good," he said. "I
didn't see you coming."
In
Minaya's waistband, they found
a gun, a .32 caliber
Ceska-Zbrojovka
semi-automatic, loaded and
operable.
Now
on November 12, Minaya
appeared in before Magistrate
Judge Katharine H. Parker of
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York to plead guilty.
He didn't
have a plea deal but only a
letter from the US Attorney's
Office estimating that his
sentencing guidelines, based
on having this gun after being
convicted of a felony in 2006,
would be between 37 and 46
months.
It is SDNY Chief Judge Colleen
McMahon who will sentence him,
on February 26. The case is US
v. Minaya, 19-cr-487
(McMahon / Parker).
