SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 9 -- Eric Ocasio-Granell
accused of narcotics
conspiracy for 40 kilograms of
cocaine faced a rare Saturday
presentment in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court on March 7.
Inner City Press on
Friday, March 6 had been told
by sources that a presentment
might take place on Saturday,
requested for 9 am by
Assistant US Attorney Karin
Portlock. But there was and is
no way to confirm such
presentments.
When it
happened at noon on Saturday,
with Daniel Nessim as the
AUSA, Ocasio-Granell's
assigned counsel Sabrina
Shroff told Magistrate Judge
Kevin N. Fox to dismiss the
complaint with regard to her
client.
Co-defendant David Leanos
Perez, represented by Federal
Defenders, consented to
detention, at least until
March 9. By which time,
Ocasio-Granell's name and
dismissal has been removed
from the docket in US v.
Perez, 20-mg-2647 (Fox).
