SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 22 – 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
case numbers
given only
later, on August
22
before
Magistrate
Judge Gabriel
W. Gorenstein
two
alleged
co-conspirators
appeared,
separately,
with no case
number in New
Presentments.
The first
Gilberto
Luciano Vazquez was
detained on
consent.
The
second Luis
Parrales, in
the Complaint
which Inner
City Press dug
up including
a reference to
a warrant
signed by EDNY
Magistrate
Judeg Steven
L. Tiscione, is described
as
owning a
trucking
company moving
drugs in
Newark. He was
released the
same day on a
$75,000 bond.
He is allowed
to travel in
New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. What
was the
difference
between the
two? It was
not said in
the proceeding
releasing
Parrales. The
US Attorney's
Office just
decides. Inner
City Press,
the only media
in the
Magistrates
Court for
this, an hour
after a
Michael
Avenatti /
Nike
conference,
which Inner
City Press
live tweeted here,
will continue
to pursue this
and other
mysteries of
the SDNY's
murky Mag
Court.
On
August 20 a
man was
presented and
released
with no case
number being
given.
His name
was pronounced
Christopher
Ansa,
charged with
among other
things
exporting
stolen motor
vehicles.
The Assistant US
Attorney said
he had a
passport from
Ghana
and asked for
location
monitoring.
Judge
Gorenstein
said the US
had not met
its burden and
said he gave
then ten to fifteen
minutes to
come to an
agreement.
Inner
City Press
stepped out of
the Magistrates
Courtroom to
try to look
into the case.
Going back in
10 minutes
later it was
all over - Mr
Ansa still in
a flannel
shirt was
being
released. In
the front
Judge
Gorenstein was
wheeling out a
case, to Judge
Engelmayer.
For this one,
the spelling
was given: US
v. Michael
Massaro. Judge
Gorenstein
asked the
after-hours
Court Security
Officer if he
knew how to
turn off the
lights,
because he and
his Deputy
were leaving.
Lights Out.
