SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 19 – For
weeks, a media
spotlight has
been on
Manhattan
District
Attorney Alvin
Bragg,
including
photographers
waiting on
Hogan Place
and
demonstrators
on both sides
in Collect
Pond
Park.
On
April 11,
Bragg reached
south of Worth
Street and
filed suit in
the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York.
The assigned
District Judge
later issued a
scheduling
order:
"The Court
will hold a
hearing on
Plaintiff's
motion on
April 19, 2023
at 2:00 PM in
Courtroom 18C
of the Daniel
Patrick
Moynihan
Courthouse.
(Signed by
Judge Mary Kay
Vyskocil on
4/11/2023)."

Two hours
later, Bragg's
request was
denied,
starting: "he
request by
Manhattan
District
Attorney Alvin
L. Bragg Jr.
for a
temporary
restraining
order,
enjoining
enforcement of
the subpoena
issued to Mark
F. Pomerantz
by the
Committee on
the Judiciary
of the United
States House
of
Representatives,
chaired by
Congressman
Jim Jordan, is
DENIED. The
subpoena was
issued with a
“valid
legislative
purpose” in
connection
with the
“broad” and
“indispensable”
congressional
power to
“conduct
investigations.”
It is not the
role of the
federal
judiciary to
dictate what
legislation
Congress may
consider or
how it should
conduct its
deliberations
in that
connection.
Mr. Pomerantz
must appear
for the
congressional
deposition. No
one is above
the law."
The
case is Bragg
v. Jordan, et
al.,
