Program By Judge Netburn

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 19 – While many even most
cases in the Magistrates Court
of the
U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed, on
June 19
the day's last
case before
Magistrate
Judge Sarah
Netburn seems
straightforward.
Ricardo Reynoso,
resident of Massachusetts,
had been
arrested at
11:30 am that
day in
Connecticut.
Judge Netburn
released him
on $75,000
bond.
Judge
Netburn,
who the
previous day
sealed and
delayed
docketing on a money
laundering
case from New
Jersey
completing the
tri-state
trifecta, told
Ricardo Reynoso about
a program she and
another
SDNY judge
(apparently
SDNY Chief
Judge Collen
McMahon)
run. It is
called Young
Adult
Opportunity
Program.
Because
Inner City
Press is not
*only* about
pushing for
transparency,
for example
of the a suddenly
sealed
sentencing
before Judge
Lorna G.
Schofield on
June 17,
we link to this
program here.
It's all to
the good. So is
transparency,
including on
warrants.
We'll have
more on this.
On
June 12 Alberto
Carrasco a/k/a
Moreno came
through the
Mag Court,
charged
with agreeing
to sell a
kilo of heroin
in The Bronx.
The
Complaint, 19-MAG-5567,
has the DEA's
Mark Hadzewycz
recounting
that on June 3
Confidential
Source-1 spoke with
Carrasco or
Moreno then
met him on
June 5 on
Washington
Avenue in The
Bronx. CS-1
was showing a
"six pack" photo
array
afterward and
picked up
Moreno. On June
11 on
Lorillard
Place they met
again, agreeing to
the sale of heroin
in what the complaint
calls a Bronx
Shopping
Center.
Carrasco
or Moreno in
fact brought
the drugs, or
a weighed bag,
from a
"particular
multifamily
home in
Mamaroneck,
NY." It
was 1.17
kilograms of
heroin. He
has been
detained, with
Magistrate
Judge Katharine
H. Parker writing
on the order
additional
reason:
pending order
of protection,
strength of
evidence
including
results of
search of D's
premises." His
lawyer is CJA
Kelly Sharkey; this;
his preliminary hearing is set
for June 26. Inner City Press,
occupied
at that time with a rogue
cop's sentencing, aims to be
there.
The day before on
June 11 a man charged with
Social Security fraud in
Nebraska was brought by U.S.
Marshals before Judge Parker,
at the end of
the day.
Judge
Parker's
Deputy,
following a
best practice,
read out not
only the
defendant's
name, Colbert,
but also a
number, 19-MAG-5552. An hour
after the
proceeding, still
nothing. Then the
Rule 5(c)(3)
affidavit, by
Deputy Marshal
Eric Kushi. It
refers to a
criminal
case number 19
Cr. 3041.
The
defendant has
two names:
Justin
Alexander
Colbert, and
Nicholas Ryan
Hanshaw.
The
Assistant U.S.
Attorney
referred to an order- it
sounded like a
sealing order,
which is done
too frequently,
but turned
out by 8 pm to
be UNsealing
-
drafted by a
colleague
seemingly
Rushmi
Bhaskaran, and
Judge Parker
said whatever
it was it
would be
signed. (To
her credit,
she did not
grant the
baseless
request to exclude
time until
Colbert's
slated appearance at
the Lincoln,
Nebraska
courthouse on
June 26 before
a Judge John
Gerard.)
Colbert
or his
family have
the funds to travel
back for that
appearance,
and perhaps
back to New
York after
that. His
Federal
Defender, Ian
Marcus Amelkin
along with an
FD intern
arranged for
Colbert to get a
Metrocard. He
was released
on his own signature
of a $20,000
bond, to
be signed by
June 25 by his
mother as
well. And that
was it. For
now. Inner
City Press was
the only media
in the Mag
Court and is
continuing to
dig into
all this. Watch
this site, @InnerCityPress and the
new @SDNYLIVE.
A defendant was
released with reporting "only
by phone or web, no home
visits" in the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York's Magistrates Court
as the last case of
the week of
Magistrate
Judge Gabriel
W. Gorenstein.
Why could Pre-Trial
Services
not conduct
any home
visit? If it
it because
the defendant
- murkily
announced as
Miguel (Tobias?)
Mendez is a
cooperating
witness, why
do it in open
court? How to
justify
remanding some,
compared to
this?
There
is no Miguel
Mendez as a
defendant in
PACER; the
Assistant US
Attorneys on
June 7 were
whispering as
if part of a
conspiracy
themselves.
Where is the
accountability? Where is the
transparency?
The
next hearing
for Bryan
Pivnick is
July 1.
Inner City
Press and @SDNYLIVE will be there.
