SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 9 – A woman from Norway is
in US Federal custody charged
with threatening a US judge.
Inner City Press was in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court late on
January 9 when, as the last
case, Dana Marie Eiden was
brought into the courtroom in
shackles.
It was explained that there
are two cases against her, one
now involving "civil contempt"
and a second one, still not
even listed in the PACER court
system database, for
threatening the judge.
The civil
case began in 2018 before
then-District Judge Richard J.
Sullivan. Per Magne Eiden
asserted that Dana Marie Eiden
had kept their children in the
US against his well, and
allegedly against the Hague
Convention.
Flash-forward to late 2019,
and Per Magne's lawyers at
Gourvitz & Gourvitz ("We
Think Outside The Box") were
urging now Circuit Judge
Sullivan to "issue an
immediate arrest warrant for
Ms. Eidem." Apparently they
prevail: Ms. Eiden is locked
up, now also with a criminal
case for threatening a judge.
Ms. Eiden's Federal Defender
declined on January 9 to make
a bail argument, instead
asking to re-appear before
Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman
on January 10 after 4:30 pm
proceeding before Judge
Sullivan, noticed to be in
Courtroom 15C which has
already been assigned to new
Judge Lewis J. Liman.
Inner City Press will continue
to cover both cases - and the
new judge. More on Patreon here.
