On June 13 Judge Caproni to her credit docketed that a "Rule, in turn, requires any party wishing to file a submission in redacted form or under seal to explain why redactions or sealing are appropriate in light of the presumption of public access to the federal courts. See United States v. Akhavan, 532 F. Supp. 3d 181, 184 (S.D.N.Y. 2021) -- a case Inner City Press sought and won unsealing in - citing Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006))."
On August 21 Oren Alexander retained two of the defense lawyers in Sean Combs' recent trial, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, amid pre-trial skirmishes.
On November 6 Inner City Press live tweeted the conference at which Judge Caproni said a jury questionnaire is unlikely and the trial date may slip to May 2026, thread here.
Meanwhile Marc Agnifilo is representing Stephanie Gonzalez, charged in state court with hate crime assault of a Jewish woman while tearing down posters of October 7 hostages, here
