2. Mr. Ramirez may use the Internet but is not allowed (a) to visit any websites involved in this case; (b) to buy or sell any pharmaceutical products; or (c) to use Skype.
3. Mr. Ramirez, who has already surrendered his passport and other travel documents, is not permitted to apply for a new passport.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties must appear before the Court for a status conference on November 3, 2021, at 10:30 a.m., in Courtroom 443 of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007. Members of the public may attend the conference by dialing (888) 363-4749, using the access code 3121171, and the security code 0578. Any recording of the hearing is strictly prohibited.
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. Only those individuals who meet the entry requirements established by the questionnaire will be permitted entry. Please contact chambers promptly if you or your client do not meet the requirements.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that time is excluded for the period between October 20, 2021 and November 3, 2021 under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), so that Mr. Hernandez Ramirez has time to meet with and adequately consult with counsel; the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
SO ORDERED.
