SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 14 – Richard
Mendoza was charged in
September 2020 with conspiracy
to distribute 400 grams and
more of fentanyl.
On April
14, not in the day's Calendar,
Mendoza appeared before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang,
in order to plead
guilty. Inner City Press
covered it.
Mendoza has
been arrested in Arizona, then
moved to the Nevada Southern
ICE Detention Facility in
Pahrump, Nevada.
He was put on a
plane bound for either the
Federal Transfer Center in
Oklahoma City or the Grady
County Jail in Chickasha,
Oklahoma, as an overflow
facility. But it was closed
for COVID, so he are returned
to Pahrump, Nevada.
While he
will be sentenced by District
Judge Kimba M. Wood, he
consented to plead guilty
before a Magistrate Judge. The
control date for sentencing is
July 13.
The case is US v.
Mendoza, 20-cr-514 (Wood /
Wang).
