JUSTIN SIBLEY
WAIVER OF DEFENDANT'S PERSONAL
PRESENCE; ORDER THEREON
Time:
Magistrate Judge: Michael J. Seng
Pursuant to F. R. Crim. P. 43(b)(2) and (3), Defendant hereby waives his right to be personally present in open court upon the hearing of any proceeding in this case, including, but not limited to status conferences, motions hearings and change of plea.
Mr. Sibley made an initial appearance on 7/15/2010, and a subsequent appearance on 8/10/2010. Mr. Sibley now resides in Portland, Oregon, which is approximately a 13-hour drive from Yosemite National Park. It is a significant financial and personal hardship for Mr. Sibley to be present at court in Yosemite. Mr. Sibley, therefore, respectfully requests permission to enter his change of plea in absentia.
The government has indicated that it does not oppose this request.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL J. BRODERICK
Federal Defender
