The federal courts often move too slowly for some, but that was not the case Monday in the U.S. District Court for Northern Iowa. in just 18 minutes, officers of the Cedar Rapids, IA-based Midamar Corporation and the related Islamic Services of America were arraigned on federal felony charges, pleaded not guilty to all charges, adopted the court setting a trial date of Feb. 17, 2015, and were freed under minimal conditions. Both defendants, sons of the previously charged William B. Aossey Jr., also corrected their names for the court. Jalel Aossey said his full name is Jalel Farris Aossey and William Aossey said his correct name is Yahya Nasser Aossey. Any federal defendant freed until trial agrees not to violate any federal, state, or local law while on release and to submit a DNA sample. Defendants also agree to keep the court advised of their current address, appear in court as necessary, and surrender for sentencing if it comes to that. The Aossey brothers were released with only two additional conditions. They must give probation officers 48 hours advance notice before they embark on international travel, and they agreed not to associate with anyone convicted of a felony. Other than that, both are free without bond, as is their father. Also during the speedy arraignment proceedings on Monday, the chief federal magistrate judge for Northern Iowa signed the court’s standard 16-page trial scheduling order for each defendant. It sets a Jan. 21, 2015, status hearing for a trial that might start on Feb. 17, 2015. Linda R. Reade, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for Northern Iowa, will preside over the trial. The order notes the court has several trials scheduled for the same period and has not determined the order in which they will be tried. This is also a standard court procedure as cases often settle immediately before trial and judges use such scheduling practices to ensure they are not left with nothing to do. The rest of the standard order deals with discovery, jury selection, and trial witnesses. The five scheduling orders signed Monday, including one for ISA Inc., which is another name for Islamic Services of America, mean those trials might occur before 73-year-old William B. Aossey Jr. faces a jury on March 9, 2015. The senior Aossey was previously arraigned last October. His federal trial was postponed from an original trial date of Dec. 29, 2014, after the federal magistrate declared the cases “complex” and said he needed additional time for preparation. While the charges against the Aosseys and their companies are not strictly food-safety related, they do involve mislabeling and violations of statutes that are usually seen as essential to food-safety enforcement. Miramar, Islamic Services and the Aosseys are charged with making false statements on export documents and money laundering, which the government says has to do with shipments of Halal beef to Southeast Asia. Halal meats are prepared according to specific standards of the Muslim faith, including those for slaughter.
