UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ROBERT GONZALEZ, Defendant.
ORDER
VALERIE CAPRONI, United States District Judge:
WHEREAS oral argument is scheduled for August 10, 2021;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. Oral argument is adjourned to August 31, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. The hearing will take place in person in Courtroom 443 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, located at 40 Foley Square, New York, New York 10007. Members of the public may attend the hearing by dialing (888) 363-4749, using the access code 3121171 and the security code 0508. Any recording of the hearing is strictly prohibited.
2. In light of the logistical difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the period of time between June August 10, 2021 and August 31, 2021, is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by accommodating those logistical difficulties outweigh the Defendant's and the public's interests in a speedy trial.
3. The parties are reminded that, per the SDNY COVID-19 Courthouse Entry Program, any person who appears at any SDNY courthouse must complete a questionnaire and have his or her temperature taken. Please see the enclosed instructions. Completing the questionnaire ahead of time will save time and effort upon entry.

Finally, any person who appears at any SDNY courthouse must comply with Standing Order M10-468 (21-MC-164), which further pertains to courthouse entry.
