SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 20 – In a multi-defendant robbery conspiracy case, on July 20 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held a scheduling proceeding.
Counsel including Lisa Scolari asked that the trial be moved back from November or December.
Judge Rakoff, who earlier in the day had held an in-person proceeding in this courtroom that Inner City Press reported on, said he would only push the trial back to January 19, pending the "Assignment Committee."
Another of the lawyers mentioned another trial schedule for that time. Judge Rakoff noted the 97% of Federal criminal cases settle.
This case is US v. Smith et al., 20-cr-153 (Rakoff)
