SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 5 –
Devin
Silva, a
felon, was
arrested in
connection
with a loaded
firearm near
West 190th
Street and
Jerome Avenue
in The Bronx.
Now he does
not want to
leave his
cell.
On February
21, 2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Analisa Torres
had a
proceeding
scheduled with
Silva. Inner
City Press
went and
covered
it.
Before
it, Judge
Torres
docketed that
"at 8:50 a.m.
the Court
received an
email stating
that the US
Marshals
Service
notified the
US Attorney's
Office that
Defendant,
Devin Silva,
had 'refused
to come to
court today.'
Defendant is
obligated to
come to Court
today for a
status
conference
scheduled for
3:20 pm.
Accordingly
the MDC and
USMS are
authorized to
use reasonable
force if
Defendant
refuses to
comply."
In
the courtroom,
Judge Torres
asked the
defendant if
he had not
wanted to
come. He
confirmed that
no, he had not
wanted to.
Judge Torres
said it was
unacceptable,
as it wasted
many people's
time.
She set the
next
conference for
April 26 at
10:40 am.
On
February 6,
2024 Silva
pled guilty.
On
July 3, 2024
Silva's lawyer
wrote in
requesting a
sentence of 36
months, with
sentencing set
for July 15.
The
case is US v.
Silva,
22-cr-705
(Torres)
