ORDER
GREGORY H. WOODS, United States District Judge
The Court will hold a conference regarding Michael K. Chong, LLC's May 25, 2021 motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendants, Dkt. No. 19, on June 7, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. The conference will take place in Courtroom 12C of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street, New York, New York, 10007.
The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's June 2, 2021 request to be excused from attending the hearing, or for leave to attend via telephone. Dkt. No. 29. That request is denied. The Court expects that counsel for Plaintiff will appear in person on June 7, 2021, along with the remaining parties and attorneys.
Due to the on-going novel coronavirus pandemic, the Southern District of New York has enacted certain protocols designed to ensure the safety of anyone appearing in any Southern District courthouse. This includes a requirement that every person appearing in a Southern District of New York courthouse complete a questionnaire and have their temperature taken. Instructions for completing this questionnaire are attached.
Completing the questionnaire ahead of time will save time and effort upon entry. Only those individuals who meet the entry requirements established by the questionnaire will be permitted entry. Please contact chambers if any member of your team does not meet the requirements.
The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at Dkt. No. 29.
SO ORDERED.
