COURTHOUSE,
Nov 13 – Amid the news of the
arrest of the Alexander
brothers in Miami on SDNY sex
trafficking charges, in the
SDNY Magistrate Court on the
morning of December 11 the
superseding indictment was
"wheeled out" to District
Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
Inner City Press was there,
and tweeted / X-ed it
out.
On December 24
Tal Alexander filed opposing
transfer to SDNY - Notice of
motion on Patreon here.
On December 31
Tal Alexander's lawyer wrote
to Judge Caproni asking for
bail, offering $115 million in
security, citing US v. Ng Lap
Seng that "conditions were
adhered to by the security
service provider." Really?
Massages behind closed doors?

On June 13 Judge
Caproni to her credit docketed
that a "Rule, in turn,
requires any party wishing to
file a submission in redacted
form or under seal to explain
why redactions or sealing are
appropriate in light of the
presumption of public access
to the federal courts. See
United States v. Akhavan, 532
F. Supp. 3d 181, 184 (S.D.N.Y.
2021) -- a case
Inner City Press
sought and won
unsealing in -
citing Lugosch v. Pyramid Co.
of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110,
11920 (2d Cir. 2006))."

brothers' extensive
redactions. Judge Caproni
cited and docketed the motion
