In #SDNY, #Avenatti proceeding about to begin before Judge Batt. He's here and not phoning it in. #AllRise. Thread

Judge Batts says threshold Q is whether to transfer venue. Avenatti motion due Aug, gov in Sept, no replies. Decision Oct 15

It's over. This could have just been done by "Memo Endorsed." Now to a change of plea elsewhere in the courthouse. @SDNYLIVE

Now in Judge Buchman's, with only six others present, Defendant Polanco is pleading guilty, for 87-108 months. @SDNYLIVE
