ORDER
DEMISE COTE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Criminal jury trials have resumed in the Southern District of New York. Jury trials are being conducted in compliance with the safety procedures implemented in this district. In order to comply with those safety procedures, jury trials require complex planning and coordination. This district is currently planning to accommodate criminal jury trials that should occur between January and March 2022.
The trial in this case is scheduled to occur on February 21, 2022. It is anticipated that any defendant who wishes to resolve the charges by entering a plea of guilty will confer with the Government and arrange with the Court to enter a plea no later than three weeks before the date scheduled for trial. It is hereby
ORDERED that defense counsel shall advise the Court by November 4, 2021 whether the defendant currently intends to proceed to trial.
