SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 10 – Reinaldo Reyes has a
defense lawyer who has applied
to be a prosecutor. Unlike in
a recent
case in which a
defendant's lawyer was married
to a prosecutor, this conflict
was disclosed to Reyes.
On December 10, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
William H. Pauley III held a
Curcio hearing. Inner City
Press covered it.
Shriram
Harid of Dechert LLP applied
to the USAO-SDNY on November
4, and told Reyes on November
6. On November 20, the US
Attorney's Office asked for a
Curcio hearing.
Judge
Pauley asked Reyes to state in
his own words his
understanding of that the
conflict of interested might
be.
When this did not
draw a satisfactory answer,
Reyes and counsel were told to
confer for 10 minutes.
The case is US v.
Oquendo et al., 13-cr-357
(Pauley)
