UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. WILLIAM SCOTT, Defendant.
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, District Judge.
The conference scheduled for July 21, 2021, is ADJOURNED to July 27, 2021, at 10:30 a.m., using the Court's video conferencing software. See In re Coronavirus/Covid-19 Pandemic, No. 20 Misc. 176 (S.D.N.Y. June 15, 2021), ECF No. 6 (finding that the COVID-19 pandemic “make[s] it necessary for the judges in this District to be able to continue to conduct proceedings remotely.”). Chambers will provide the parties with instructions on how to appear via video.
By July 23, 2021, the Government shall re-submit its opposition to Defendant's motion to suppress on this docket.
The time between July 21, 2021, and July 27, 2021, is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(A), in the interests of justice. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the exclusion outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial in that this will allow the Court to schedule a remote proceeding in light of the ongoing public health crisis caused by COVID-19.
SO ORDERED.
