SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Oct 25 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on October 25, a
Violation of Supervised
Release proceeding was held by
Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger on a defendant who,
a search warrant found, had a
loaded gun in a jacket in his
bedroom. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
Mag Court.
The
defendant had previously
gotten a time served sentence
after conviction for
conspiracy to distribute
narcotics: crack. The
sentencing guideline,
according to the sentencing
transcript, had been 37 to 46
months; the downward variance
was based on what he had been
doing since he was out on bond
and the need to provide mental
health treatment.
The
Assistant US Attorney argued
for detention based on the
gun. A Criminal Justice
Act lawyer from Mayer Brown
LLP, filling in for the
defendant's ongoing CJA lawyer
who was said to be at the EDNY
in Brooklyn, argued for
release, saying the link to
the gun was unclear.
Judge
Lehrburger agreed that more
needed to be known about the
gun, and the basis for the
search warrant that found. He
ordered the defendant detained
"for now," noting that the
District Judge would hold a
conference in two days, on
October 27.
The overall case
is US v. Mickens, et al.,
18-cr-657 (Carter /
Lehrburger)
