As of April 20, there has been one case that was scheduled for a bond review hearing multiple times but has yet to occurred.

Mamadou Seck was found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction on Aug. 6, 2019.

Seck filed a motion for emergency release due to the COVID-19 pandemic on April 7. Seck was scheduled for a bond review hearing on April 14 but due to a power outage at the DC Jail his hearing was rescheduled.

The hearing was scheduled to occur on April 16 and April 17, but it was continued to April 20 for reasons not explained on the DC Courts’ website.

On April 20, Seck’s hearing was continued to April 21 to allow for a French interpreter to be present.
