ORDER

DENISE COTE, District Judge:

On June 24, 2022, defense counsel requested that the defendant be allowed to appear remotely for the July 1 arraignment and initial conference in this case as opposed to in person. Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED that the defendant shall appear as scheduled via the Microsoft Teams videoconference platform, if that platform is reasonably available. To access the conference, please follow this link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting MTk5ZDY5YWItNTMxNi00MzgzLTliNzItZTc2ZTJkYTZlY2 E2%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%221d66f037-8266-4d1c-919c-67c6543d3542%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22f281b8d8-5887-44a5-9566-8c44f6aaf05d%_i22%7d Counsel for the Government and defense counsel shall still appear in Courtroom 18B at that time.

Defense counsel shall report any difficulties accessing the link to chambers no later than 24 hours in advance of the conference so that chambers may assist the parties.
