[Inner City Press

Inner City Press live tweeted

Judge Subramanian
signed off - and on October 8
docketed an Order of
Forfeiture - on Patreon here
On October 20,
notice of appeal was filed.
On
December 9 Clayton Howard
wrote in to Judge Subramanian
seeking Victim's
Rights, attaching
his email to Teny
Geragos, on
Patreon here
On
December 23,
the US
Attorney's
Office wrote in
opposing:
"Howard argues
that because
the Government
counted him as
a victim for
the purpose of
Combs’s
Guidelines
calculation,
he must be a
victim under
the CVRA, but
this argument
fails to
appreciate the
different
definition of
“victim” in
the CVRA and
the
Guidelines....
even if he
were a CVRA
victim, Howard
is similarly
not entitled
to the other
relief he
seeks. For
example,
Howard
requests “all
case
materials”
“relating to
his
victimization.”
(Dkt. No. 552
¶ 3). But
“[t]he CVRA .
. . does not
authorize an
unbridled
gallop to any
and all
information in
the
government’s
files" - 5
