SDNY COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Jan 25 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 2, a
detention or bond proceeding
was held by Magistrate Judge
Stewart D. Aaron on a man
charged with selling guns to
two men already in state
custody for plans to "shoot up
a synagogue," Christopher
Brown, 21, and Matthew Mahrer,
22.
Presented
in Federal court on December 2
was defendant / gun-seller
Jamil Hakime, who works with
detained youth at the NYC
Administration for Children's
Services. Inner City Press was
present, the only media (and
only non-involved person)
there. Live-tweeted

Jumpt cut to
January 24, 2023: the case has
been indicted, and wheeled out
to Judge Analisa Torres. She
held a proceeding, and Inner
City Press attended. Discovery
is ongoing; the AUSA said the
phones of the two
co-conspirators are being
reviewed and Hakime will get
some but not all of it.
The Federal
Defender said the proposed
protective order is disputed;
he will abide by it while
Judge Torres considered the
issue.
The next day
January 25 Judge Torres
rejected the US Attorney's
Office's proposed blanket
protective order: "ORDER as to
Jamil Hakime: The Court has
reviewed the parties'
respective proposed protective
orders. ECF No. 20-1; ECF No.
21, Exhibit A. The Court finds
that the Government has not
met its burden of showing good
cause for a blanket protective
order. See United States v.
Smith, 985 F. Supp. 2d 506,
522, 524 (S.D.N.Y. 2013); In
re Terrorist Attacks on
September 11, 2001, 454 F.
Supp. 2d 220, 222 (S.D.N.Y.
2006). Accordingly, the
parties are directed to submit
a revised proposed protective
order by February 1, 2023. The
Clerk of Court is directed to
terminate the motions at ECF
Nos. 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed
by Judge Analisa Torres on
1/25/2023)." Inner City Press
will continue to cover the
case.
