SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 29 – Anthony Pietropinto
was a psychiatrist who saw
patients at irregular hours
out of a rented office on
Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
He wrote
oxydocone scripts for them for
cash. One patient would arrive
visibly
high.
On April
29, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Vernon S. Broderick
was to have held a sentencing.
Inner City Press covered it.
The US Attorney's
Office has written that it
"recognizes that a sentence
that does not including a
prison term is appropriate."
The sentencing
had to be postponed, and Judge
Broderick conferred with the
parties to choose a new date.
It is May 21 at noon.
The case is US v.
Pietropinto, 19-cr-261
(Broderick)
