06/30/200693MINUTES In Chambers held before Judge Cormac J. Carney as to Defendant Kevin James. Defendant's ex parte application for temporary release is Denied. Although the Court is sympathetic to defendant's loss, there are no legal grounds here to warrant such a release. The Court is also quite concerned about defendant's safety, the public's safety and the safety of the US Marshals if it authorized such a release given the serious nature of the charges against the defendant.
