EXCLUSIVE,
Oct 8 – A man who was slated
to plea guilty to drug charges
in 1992 did not appear in
Federal court in lower
Manhattan that day. A bench
warrant was issued.
Then
nothing happened until
2025.
On
September 12, 2025 he was in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York and Inner City Press was
there.
Before
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker, his Bronx-based lawyer
argued for release on bond.
This was granted - $350,000
unsecured bond with one
co-signer - and the old paper
file was sought, for more than
an hour.
Later in
the day he appeared before the
newly assigned District Judge
Arun Subramanian. The
Assistant US Attorney said, We
normally wouldn't put this on
the record but so much time
has passed... He was going to
plead guilty pursuant to a
cooperation agreement."
Now a
mitigation report will be
prepared, because there may be
collateral consequences to the
already agreed to - and
signed? - guilty plea.
On October
3 - none of the old papers had
been scanned, at least not
anywhere in the docket -
defense counsel wrote in
asking for more time to meet
the bond conditions.
On October 8
Judge Subramanian endorsed,
"MEMO ENDORSEMENT as to Andres
Jimenez - Request for
Extension of Time for
Co-signers. ENDORSEMENT:
Application GRANTED. The
deadline is extended to
Friday, October 10, 2025.
(Signed by Judge Arun
Subramanian on 010/8/2025)
