SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 30 – Ameen Keshavjee was charged with sending a threat "it's called anthrax" to staff at the lower Manhattan gay bar Nowhere.
On August 30 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Buchwald asked for the status of the case. The Assistant US Attorney said that efforts to resolve the case in a guilty plea have not borne fruit; he asked for a trial date.
Judge Buchwald reminded the parties of the Delta variant. She said she has not held a trial during the pandemic and is not sure when she will.
She mentioned the possibility of referring the case to another judge. [Another defendant before her is accused UN staff rapist Karim Elkorany.] For now, there is a status conference on November 30 and 11 am.
The case is US v. Keshavjee, 20-cr-169 (Buchwald)
