LORETTA A. PRESKA, U.S.D.J.

The hearing scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on December 9, 2021 will occur as a videoconference. The Court will communicate to counsel the information for joining the videoconference. Members of the public may dial in using the following teleconference information: (877) 402-9753, access code: 6545179.

If possible, defense counsel shall discuss the attached Consent to Proceed by Videoconference with the Defendant prior to the proceeding. If the Defendant consents, and is able to sign the form (either personally or, in accordance with Standing Order 20-MC-174 of March 27, 2020, by defense counsel), defense counsel shall file the executed form at least 24 hours prior to the proceeding. In the event the Defendant consents, but counsel is unable to obtain or affix the Defendant's signature on the form, the Court will conduct an inquiry at the outset of the proceeding to determine whether it is appropriate for the Court to add the Defendant's signature to the form.

To the extent that there are any documents relevant to the proceeding, counsel should submit them to the Court (by email or on ECF, as appropriate) at least at least 24 hours prior to the proceeding. To the extent any documents require the Defendant's signature, defense counsel should endeavor to get them signed in advance of the proceeding as set forth above; if defense counsel is unable to do so, the Court will conduct an inquiry during the proceeding to determine whether it is appropriate for the Court to add the Defendant's signature.

SO ORDERED.
