# James Episcopia

A defendant in the 1982 Southern District of New York case against Napolitano and Ruggiero. FBI reports in the Vault record his conviction on December 12, 1983 for methaqualone conspiracy and distribution and a five-year sentence imposed by Judge Robert W. Sweet on November 17, 1986.

The convictions and sentences above are as the FBI reported them; no court record of them is filed here. The FBI reports call him "a Captain in the Bonanno Family LCN" and "Bonanno family member." Those are the Bureau's labels, and they are not used as a role here or on the [Bonanno family chart](/families/bonanno/). The reports print his date of birth, which is left out.
