SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 4 – For a criminal case
filed in 2014, on April 12,
2019 Javier Lavayen was
sentenced to a lifetime of
supervised release by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Richard J.
Sullivan.
On August 14,
Judge Sullivan now on the
Second Circuit Court of
Appeals held a violation of
supervised release proceeding
with Lavayen who appeared
first by Skype for Business on
his phone, then by telephone
audio only. Inner City Press
covered it and live tweeted
some of it, below.
Now on
January 4, Lavayen had his
sentencing before Judge
Sullivan. Federal Defender
Cohen argued that his client
had been trying hard, before
the robbery. Lavayen spoke and
said there are no programs in
the Essex County facility, that
he wants to move to Florida
and start over.
Judge
Sullivan said he had woken up
thinking it would sentence
Lavayen to two years, but that
after these arguments he would
go with 18 months, and again
the lifetime of supervised
release. He said he wished
Lavayen well.
From August 14:
Judge Sullivan told Lavayen,
Take the cigarette out of your
mouth. Lavayen: I can
hear you a little bit.
Judge Sullivan: I can see you
are outside. The
specifications include you
using heroin. Do you
understand?
Lavayen:
Can I say something?
Federal
Defender Martin Cohen: Can he
just call in by phone, no
video?
Judge Sullivan
said, Fine with me.
Lavayen came back
on, no video.
Judge
Sullivan told him to report
here to 500 Pearl Street
Monday at 9 am.
Afterward FD
Cohen wrote to ask that he be
allowed to leave home
detention over the weekend, to
spend time with family members
who plan on getting together
in the park for a few hours to
wish him good luck.
The case is US v.
Lavayen, 14-cr-774
