A DC Superior Court judge was not available for two misdemeanor hearings on April 27.
Defendants Allen Brown and Kenneth Currie were returned to their jail units when Judge Michael Ryan was not available for their hearings.
It is unclear why Judge Ryan was unable to hear the cases.
Both men filed emergency motions to be released due to COVID-19 in early April.
Both men also had their cases continued on April 23 to see if parties could agree on release conditions. Both men are being held at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution.
A hearing date has not been scheduled for either defendant as of Monday.
