One of the first people released by under the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group’s controversial mass bailout showed up for his court date Tuesday — where a judge refused his attorney’s request that the case be sealed over The Post’s coverage.

Matthew Rhinehart, 17 — who is accused of choking a cabby, robbing him at knifepoint and then filing a false police report when he left his phone in the taxi — was sprung last week by RFK for $7,500.

Rhinehart pleaded not guilty to charges of menacing and attempted robbery in Brooklyn Criminal Court Tuesday — where defense attorney Beth Calcaterra tried in vain to convince the judge to shield her client’s identity.

“I understand there was a story published in the New York Post naming my client,” she said. “Your honor, I would ask that, going forward, you limit public access to the courtroom, or allow for provisional sealing of court documents.”

But Judge Martin Murphy denied both requests.

Rhinehart, who covered his face as he left the courtroom, is due back on Nov. 20.
