Judge Gregory Carro postponed the hearing until Wednesday after Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann told the court that prosecutors had not submitted the paperwork required to have Mangione brought from the federal jail in Brooklyn, where he is being held.

The hearing had been expected to address an undisclosed issue following a sealed proceeding held two weeks ago. Carro previously said the closed hearing was conducted at the defense's request but did not reveal further details.

Gosh, the nefarious Trumpf junta just can't wait to get their grubby little mitts on poor Luigi to give him a nitrogen treatment.
