Today was pretty eventful. I attended an event honoring Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska of the Southern District of New York at Columbia Law School, where she was honored by The Federalist Society as the first recipient of The [Alexander] Hamilton Award. She gave a 20 minute speech entitled “The Death of Free Speech on Campus” and spent the rest of her time answering questions from the audience.

Leonard and I have both written numerous letters to Preska over the years about the overall fraud & corruption taking place in the Southern District of New York, particularly with the two Republican appointed federal judges overseeing our cases — Robert P. Patterson and P. Kevin Castel. Preska has acknowledged our letters by posting them onto our respective dockets, but she has remained silent and taken no further action. Smdh.

Although I wanted to speak to her [either by asking a question or speaking to her one-on-one], I decided against doing so. Nonetheless, it was good to hear her speak — even if I didn’t entirely agree with what she had to say.

When I got home, I saw that one of my favorite singer/songwriters — Tori Kelly — was in town and was having a free show @ Birchbox Soho, so of course, I checked that out as well.

She impeccably performed the first single off her upcoming debut album titled “Nobody Love,” and four other songs, including “Paper Hearts” and “Dear No One.”

Can’t wait for Tori to release this album!! Today was a good day!
