SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, May 16 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on May 16, a guilty plea
proceeding not noticed in
advance in PACER was held by
Magistrate Judge Sarah
Netburn.
An hour
and counting after the guilty
plea, the defendant still has
a pre-trial conference listed
before Judge Kimba M. Woods
for May 24. But now he has
pleaded guilty, to assault and
discharging a gun a part of a
gang, with no sentencing date
yet set.
The
Assistant US Attorney
suggested a number of
allocution questions,
including the purpose of the
gang and the motive for the
assault and gun play. The
defendant said, to gain
entrance. But he was already a
member. So, to maintain
position.
There is a
ten year mandatory minimum
sentence, consecutive to any
of sentence.
Providing advance
public notice of a plea to
this length of sentence is an
issue that should be soluble.

v. Smith, 21-cr-78 (Wood /
Parker)
