SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 18 – Jey James Roldan Cardenas and five others are indicted for a conspiracy to import narcotics from Colombia into the United States.
On April 18, 2023 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan held a proceeding. Inner City Press went and covered it.
There were five defendants, all in the orange jumpsuits of the Westchester County Department of Corrections, in the jury box.
The sixth defendant is in Colombia. An extradition package has been pending for one year, as have MLAT requests.
Judge Kaplan suggested a motion schedule: August 15, September 5 opposition, September 14 reply, argument on September 28.
If the MLAT materials including Colombian wiretaps come through, there might be a separate motion schedule for them.
The case is US v. Cardenas, et al., 21-cr-359 (Kaplan)
