UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ERIC SPENCER, Defendant.
ORDER
GREGORY H. WOODS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
It is hereby ORDERED that the proceeding scheduled to take place on June 28, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. will take place on the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform. To access the conference, paste the following link into your browser:
https://teams.microsoft.com/dl/launcher/launcher.html?url=%2F%23%2Fl%2Fmeetup-join%2F19%3AmeetingNjFlNWExY2EtODliMS00ZTkyLWE2MzUtNTdjNGExNzk3O Dhj%40thread.v2%2F0%3Fcontext%3D%257b%2522Tid%2522%253a%25221d66f037-8266-4d1c-919c-67c6543d3542%2522%252c%2522Oid%2522%253a%252279c81400-3587-4ee7-8008-ba97ebee86ba%2522%257d%26anon%3Dtrue&type=meetup-join&deeplinkId=39d12bc0-8ae4-4a5e-b198-0a574a387892&directDl=true&msLaunch=true&enableMobilePage=true&suppressPrompt =true
To use this link, you may need to download software to use the platform's videoconferencing features. Participants are directed to test their videoconference setup in advance of the conference-including their ability to access the link above. Defense counsel shall assist the defendant in testing his or her videoconference capability so that the defendant can participate by videoconference if that is feasible.
See Microsoft, Download Microsoft Teams (last visited January 27, 2021), https://www.microsoft.com/enus/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app.
Users who are unable to download the Microsoft Teams application may access the meeting through an internet browser, although downloading the Microsoft Teams application is highly recommended. When you successfully access the link, you may be placed in a “virtual lobby” until the conference begins. Participants should also ensure that their webcam, microphone, and headset or speakers are all properly configured to work with Microsoft Teams.

Members of the press, public, or counsel may access the conference's audio using the following credentials:
Call-in number: (917)933-2166
Conference ID: 716 764 014#
The Court requests that members of the public consider accessing the conference by telephone, rather than through the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform. While the proceeding is accessible to the public through the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform, the inclusion of many participants on the videoconference platform can reduce the quality of the video stream for the parties and their respective counsel.
Please note that participants who access the Teams meeting using an Internet browser may only be able to view one participant at a time.
This order supersedes the order entered by the Court on June 23, 2021. Dkt. No. 17.
SO ORDERED.
