SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 19 – While many even most cases in the Magistrates Court of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York are sealed, on June 19 Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn in processing three alleged co conspirators did not use the word sealed or docketing delayed.
No case number was given, that the surnames of the defendants were Perez, Grito and (it seemed) Gazono. Or Bisono. He was represented by the Federal Defenders, so one would think it would be listed there. He was also pressed for an 8 pm curfew, which Federal Defender Julia Gatto effectively fought off.
This was undermine by a CJA lawyer agreeing to the curfew for his client - but Judge Netburn in any event did not agree to it. Instead she told Pre-Trial Services to go check out the home to see if the monitoring needed to enforce a curfew could work there.
The day's last case before Judge Netburn seemed straightforward. Ricardo Reynoso, resident of Massachusetts, had been arrested at 11:30 am that day in Connecticut. Judge Netburn released him on $75,000 bond.
Judge Netburn, who the previous day sealed and delayed docketing on a money laundering case from New Jersey completing the tri-state trifecta, told Ricardo Reynoso about a program she and another SDNY judge (apparently SDNY Chief Judge Collen McMahon) run. It is called Young Adult Opportunity Program.
Because Inner City Press is not *only* about pushing for transparency, for example of the a suddenly sealed sentencing before Judge Lorna G. Schofield on June 17, we link to this program here. It's all to the good. So is transparency, including on warrants. We'll have more on this.
On June 12 Alberto Carrasco a/k/a Moreno came through the Mag Court, charged with agreeing to sell a kilo of heroin in The Bronx.
The Complaint, 19-MAG-5567, has the DEA's Mark Hadzewycz recounting that on June 3 Confidential Source-1 spoke with Carrasco or Moreno then met him on June 5 on Washington Avenue in The Bronx. CS-1 was showing a "six pack" photo array afterward and picked up Moreno. On June 11 on Lorillard Place they met again, agreeing to the sale of heroin in what the complaint calls a Bronx Shopping Center.
Carrasco or Moreno in fact brought the drugs, or a weighed bag, from a "particular multifamily home in Mamaroneck, NY." It was 1.17 kilograms of heroin. He has been detained, with Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker writing on the order additional reason: pending order of protection, strength of evidence including results of search of D's premises." His lawyer is CJA Kelly Sharkey; this; his preliminary hearing is set for June 26. Inner City Press,occupied at that time with a rogue cop's sentencing, aims to be there.
The next hearing for Bryan Pivnick is July 1. Inner City Press and @SDNYLIVE will be there.
