UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. ALBERTO ROMAN, Defendant.
ORDER
VALERIE CAPRONI, United States District Judge:
WHEREAS the parties are scheduled to appear for a detention hearing on August 3, 2021, at 11:00 a.m.;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the hearing is ADJOURNED to August 12, 2021, at 2:00 p.m., in Courtroom 443, Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that not later than August 10, 2021, the parties must file under seal a joint letter updating the Court on the status of the parties' attempts to find a suitable in-patient facility for Mr. Roman. To the extent the parties believe an additional adjournment is required, they must inform the Court of this request in their August 10 letter.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that interested members of the public may dial-in to the hearing using (888) 363-4749 // Access code: 3121171# // Security code: 0135#.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED 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 instructions, 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 promptly if you or your client does not meet the requirements.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court's previous exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(1)(H) and (h)(7)(A), is extended to August 12, 2021. In addition to the reasons stated on the record at the June 22, 2021 conference, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by accommodating logistical difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
SO ORDERED.
