SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 4 – The SEC sued Martin Ruiz on August 2, 2021 but asked that the case be sealed. Later it was unsealed - but now a hearing on Ruiz' lawyer withdrawning was held ex parte.
On April 4, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a telephonic proceeding. Inner City Press covered it, as it had earlier in the day the US v. Larry Ray trial over which Judge Liman also presided.
Ruiz' lawyer Erwin Shustak wants to withdraw.
Judge Liman asked the SEC "and anyone else on the line" to hang up, to allow an ex parte proceeding. Inner City Press hung up. But when will it be known what happened in the sealed portion?
The case is US Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ruiz, et al., 21-cv-6622 (Liman)
