March 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 Minute Entry for proceedings held before Hon. Lawrence J. Vilardo: Status Conference held on 3/18/2021. Court ordered that this proceeding is not to be recorded, or taped in any way. If someone does record it, they will be found in contempt of court. Court reviewed emails from Attorney Jackson and AUSA Fabian regarding whether this case should be considered as a "related" case to a case previously handled by Judge Vilardo, and be assigned directly to him. Following discussion with the parties, the Court determines this case is not related to Nduwimana v. Feeley, et al., 21-CV-90, and directs the Clerk's Office to reassign a District Judge to this case. AUSA Fabian contacted ICE and determined petitioner is not scheduled to be removed next week, but rather is scheduled to be removed 4/29/2021, and estimated his transfer from the detention facility in Batavia, NY to Louisiana to occur on or about 4/19/2021. Based on representations made by AUSA Fabian, Attorney Jackson advised time constraints no longer exist, and he will withdraw the Temporary Restraining Order. Appearances by AT&T Teleconference.
