SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 6 – Aracelis Sosa-Urena is
charged with illegal re-entry
as an alien. The US Attorney's
Office says her lawyer may
have a conflict of
interest.
On January 6, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Victor Marrero held or began
to hold a Curcio hearing.
Inner City Press covered
it.
The US
Attorney's Office told Judge
Marrero than Sosa-Urena's
counsel may be the subject of
an investigation by the
Grievance Committee of the
First Judicial Department of
the State of New York.
The counsel
replied that was an anonymous
complaint, and accused the US
Attorney's Office of trying to
poison the mind of his
client.
But the client
acknowledged she had not seen
the government's letter to
her. Judge Marrero declined to
waive the conflict, and said
that the CJA counsel on duty
confere with Sosa-Urena.
The trial was pushed back six
months until June.
The case is US v. Sosa-Urena,
21-cr-575 (Marrero)
