SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 7 – A
multi-defendant case charging
narcotics conspiracy and guns,
with phone data dumps and
complaints from Valhalla and
Essex County jails has landed
in Federal court.
On February 5,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Assistant US
Attorney Frank Balsamello
described the range of
discovery, and a parallel
state case.
Defendants cut
in, complaining of bad
treatment. Judge Failla
supported the idea of a
discovery coordinator.
An issue
arose about conflict of
interest of one or more
defense lawyers. Judge Failla
said she's have to hear more
about it before deciding on a
Curcio hearing.
The case is US v.
Haxhaj et al., 21-cr-17
(Failla)
