SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 10 -- Francisco Brito
was brought in on Violations
of Supervised Released on
March 10 in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate. But there was a
history.
Back on
December 12, 2019 with SDNY
Judge Andrew L. Carter's
usually courtroom in 40 Foley
Square not accessible due to
broken elevators, Brito was to
appear in 500 Pearl Street.
But he was directed back to 40
Foley, then back again. He was
an hour late.
His lawyer
Michael Sporn tried to call
him, but told Judge Carter "It
goes directly go voice mail.
He may be down with the
marshals now. He has to check
his phone there."
Later in
the proceeding Sporn said,
"while I was talking to Mr.
Brito in the hall outside the
courtroom, Jimmy O'Neil walked
by, who is Judge McMahon's
deputy, and he recognized my
client because he confirmed
that my client knocked on his
door an hour ago on this floor
to try to find out the right
place to be. So he was here
and he was trying."
Then on March 10 Brito was
bailed again, no need for a
new co-signer, with a new date
before Judge Carter on April
14, though the Assistant US
Attorney said she'd like one
sooner. The case is US v.
Brito, 14-cr-223 (Carter).
