UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. NATALIA KORZHA, VLADISLAV NECEAEV, and ANASHON KAMALOV, Defendants.
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, DISTRICT JUDGE:
The status conference scheduled for January 4, 2022, is ADJOURNED to January 18, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. The conference will use the Court's videoconferencing system. See In re Coronavirus/Covid-19 Pandemic, No. 20 Misc. 176 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 14, 2021), ECF No. 8 (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.
To optimize the quality of the video feed, only the Court, Defendants, defense counsel, and counsel for the Government will appear by video for the proceeding; all others may participate by telephone. Co-counsel, members of the press, and the public may access the audio feed of the hearing by calling (888) 398-2342 or (215) 861-0674 at the time of the hearing, and entering access code 5598827.
Time until January 18, 2022, is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7), because the ends of justice served by excluding such time outweigh the interests of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial in that this will permit counsel additional time to prepare for trial and discuss a possible disposition.
SO ORDERED.
