Ogden Town Court officials say the next appearance date for Brockport Mayor Connie Castañeda is set for December 18.
The mayor’s case has been delayed repeatedly over the last few months.
Her attorney, Donald Thompson, tells the Suburban News, “The District Attorney’s office requested additional time to respond to the motions that were filed and the court granted that request without objection.”
The mayor is charged with 14 separate counts of official misconduct stemming from the alleged illegal rental of her property at 332 Main Street in the village.
The mayor was arrested in March of 2012 and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In August, Ogden Town Justice David Murante expressed concern over the length of time the case has been in the courts, but at that time asked Assistant Monroe County District Attorney Mark Monaghan for a number of clarifications regarding the charges and the Brockport Village Code.
