SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 5 – Rakim Brown is
detained awaiting trial on
drug and gun charges.
On
February 8, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Sidney H. Stein held a
proceeding about Brown's
access to discovery. Inner
City Press covered it.
Now on
April 5, Judge Stein held
another proceeding. Brown's
defense attorney has left a
law firm to start her own.
There were multiple references
to bandwidth (with the
prosecutor citing the US v.
Calk case and the defense US
v. Donziger, both of which
Inner City press is covering).
The trial date here was moved
from July to August, on
consent.
Before
then, there will be a
suppression hearing, which
Inner City Press intends to
cover as well.
Back on
February 8, Judge Stein heard
from Federal Defenders'
Deirdre Von Dornum, apparently
for the first time in a while.
He joked, You never call, you
never write.
The
situation in the MCC and MDC
was described. Judge Stein
mused about contacting
"General Lynch, the mediator"
- meaning Loretta Lynch.
But he decided on
contacting fellow SDNY Judge
Alison J. Nathan, an observer
in the mediation process.
Inner City Press will continue
to report on this case.
It is US v.
Brown, 19-cr-513 (Stein)
