SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 30 รข€“ Two men arrested for drugs and guns in the Bronx were to have their trial date set by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Denise L. Cote on October 31. Inner City Press was there.

   The complaint has photos of drugs and guns, and a hydraulic kilogram press and metal plates bearing a Rolex logo and a Nike logo.

  When Judge Cote said April 13, defense counsel said that lead counsel had a conflict at that time. She should have been here, Judge Cote said, and set another conference for November 7 at 2:30 pm. 

There, she set the trial for June 1, 2026 with defense motions due on March 13.

On March 13 the Federal Defender filed a motion to suppress two kilo of cocaine found by a DEA search of a car on West Fordham Road in The Bronx, after officers followed him in and out of 8 Fordham Hill Oval.

On April 30, as to co-defendant Gagot, a May 8 change of plea (to guilty) proceeding was scheduled.

  The case is USA v. Reyes, et al., 25-cr-502 (Cote)
