ROGER N. "BO" TAYLOR Attorney for Yasin Ahmed Farah
CHIEF JUDGE HAYNES
MOTION TO EXCUSE DEFENDANT'S PRESENCE
Comes the Defendant, Yasin Ahmed Farah, through undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rule 43 (b)(3) and moves this Honorable Court to excuse the Defendant's presence at the status conference hearing scheduled for February 1, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. (DE 3004). As grounds for this motion, counsel would show that the Defendant resides in Minnesota. Travel to Nashville, Tennessee from Minnesota to attend a status conference will require the Defendant to incur substantial expenses. Undersigned counsel will be present to represent the Defendant at the status conference.
For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully requested that the personal attendance of Defendant Yasin Ahmed Farah at the status conference scheduled for February 1, 2013, be excused.
Respectfully submitted,
