| In SDNY Murky Mag Court Telemarketing
Defendant Bailed To Flatbush Without Case
Number

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 16 – While
many even most
cases in the
Magistrates
Court of the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed or have
no case number
given, on July 16
before
Magistrate
Judge Kevin N. Fox, a
defendant was
released on
bail without
any case
number being
given. His
name was said
phonetically
"Nizaro;" he
has worked for
a series of
fraudulent
telemarketers, from
the Tax
Club (closed
by the FTC),
Olive Branch
(founders
indicted), and
National
Grant. His
father lives
in Costa
Rica but his
mother and
daughter
across the
street on
Flatbush
Avenue in
Brooklyn.
Judge Fox
bailed him for
$200,000 with
electronic
monitoring;
the use of
cell phone was
not clear. We
aim to
have more on
this, as well
as on a defendant
just before
bailed to
Oklahoma for whom no
name was give,
much less case
number. The
Jeffrey
Epstein bail
decision is
due on July
18.
On July
15 there was a
more visceral
mystery. Between
two
presentments
and bond
hearings no
fewer than
10 NYC
Emergency
Medical
Services
paramedics
rushed into
the Mag Court
cell block.
Then emerged
with a man on
a gurney,
followed by a
US Marshal
with shackles,
on their way
to "Downtown,"
the NY
Downtown
Hospital at
100 William
Street. Better
there than the
MCC, someone
said. Judge
Fox then
resumed
processing
defendants.
There was
Andre Muller
in a white
T-shirt
presented for
Hobbs Act
Robbery,
apparently in
Maine. They
said his case
number was
19-MAG-6576
but when an
hour later
Inner City
Press looked
for it on
PACER, it said
"Cannot find
case
19-mj-6576."
He got
$100,000 bond
with two
co-signed (he
had four
people in the
Mag court
gallery where
Inner City
Press was the
only media).
He has to
appear in
court in Maine
on July 24.
Judge Fox set
a July 29
control date
to make sure
that he made
it there.
There
was Claudia
Juarez
Bernard,
charged with
narcotics
conspiracy. In
the Mag Court
the case
number
19-MAG-6580
was read out.
But an hour
later, after
the gurney to
the hospital
from the cell
block, this
case number
was still
listed in
PACER as "This
case is under
seal." She was
released on
$100,000 bond,
on her
signature, to
the Central
District of
Florida.
Federal
Defenders said
they would get
her on the
plane; she had
been in
detention
since 2:30 am
betwen
Saturday and
Sunday.
Back on
July 11 a
defendant with
the last name
Jones, no case
number, was
brought in
charged with
murder. He was
detained, all
the way until
September 5
for his next
appearance.
Who is
he? Whom did
he allegedly
kill? This
was not said
in Mag Court,
and Inner City
Press
has been told
to not ask
questions. But
we will. After
Jones there
was an
interminable
wait for a
presentee for
whom at least
two names were
given - Colin
Williams - but
for whom the
various
players wandered
away seriatim.
There was yet
another, with
report
delayed. We hope to
have more on
this.
