Judge Alesia's pretrial order on Gus Alex's motions in the case charging the 'Lenny Patrick Street Crew' with a pattern of racketeering, including eleven separate acts of extortion, intimidation or arson against eleven people.

United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, April 17, 1992, Judge Alesia. The order rules on pretrial motions by the defendant Gus Alex.

The court denied his request for a witness list, explaining that the indictment charges the defendants with operating the "Lenny Patrick Street Crew" through a pattern of racketeering and alleges eleven separate acts of extortion, intimidation or arson against eleven individuals. It granted early return of trial subpoenas and denied most of his discovery requests.

The order describes the indictment's charges, which were allegations at that stage. The trial and appeal are recorded in [United States v. Rainone](/items/courtlistener-us-v-rainone-32-f3d-1203/) (7th Cir. 1994).
