SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 17 – John Bland is
charged with being a felon in
possession of a firearm, to
wit, a 9 millimeter caliber
Glock 26 handgun.
Parole officers
found it, they say, in a
search of his apartment on
Frisby Avenue in The Bronx on
February 11,
2021.
On June 17, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Richard M. Berman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Bland's Federal Defender said
his client is nearing a guilty
plea. He would like it in
person.
At first the
Federal Defender said the new
Standing Order prohibited
virtual plea proceedings, then
he acknowledge they are still
possible.
But still
this will be in person, set
for July 6, the next
proceeding at least.
The case is
USA v. Bland, 21-cr-267
(Berman)
