Percell Ross gets a laptop not a golden ticket.

BROOKLYN, NY (May 26, 2022) — Percell Lamont Ross, 52, of Covington, Virginia was back in Federal court Thursday, this time in front of Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom for a status conference.

Judge Bloom is overseeing the pre-trial phase of the proceedings against Ross. The case has been assigned to Judge Brian M. Cogan. Ross is represented by Michelle A. Gelernt and Mia Eisner-Grynberg of Federal Defenders of New York. The prosecutor assigned to the case is Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Dennehy.

Ross was given an in-person return date of June 28 by Judge Bloom, but Ross may be back in court sooner, depending on whether a decision by Judge Cogan on a motion to suppress by Ross is handed down sooner.
