UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DMITRI JOHNSON, Defendant.
ORDER
Before the Court is a letter from Defendant Johnson, Document #1255, and the Government's response, Document #1268.
Defendant Johnson complains that he was not presented to a Magistrate Judge within 48 hours. He requests a hearing under Gerstein v. Pugh. Such a hearing is unnecessary and Mr. Johnson's complaint is denied. Defendant was presented to Magistrate Judge Knowles on the first work day after his arrest.
Furthermore, the circumstances of this take down of multiple defendants are extraordinary and justify any delay.
It is so ORDERED.
