DEFENDANT'S WAIVER OF APPEARANCE AND ORDER
WILLIAM B. SHUBB UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pursuant to Rule 43 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Defendant, Carlos Villasenor, hereby waives the right to be personally present in open court upon the hearing of any motion or other proceeding in this case, except for any proceeding which Defendant's presence is required such as a plea, any proceeding during the trial, and sentencing, or any court appearance which the Court orders Defendant to be present. Defendant hereby requests the Court to proceed during every absence of his presence which the Court may permit pursuant to this waiver. Defendant agrees that his interests will be deemed represented at all times by the presence of his attorney, the same as if Defendant were personally present, and further agrees to be present in court ready for trial any day and time the Court may arrange in his absence.
The Defendant further acknowledges that he has been informed of his rights under Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161-3174 (Speedy Trial Act), and authorizes his attorney to set times and delays under that Act without Defendant being present.
I agree with and consent to my client's waiver of appearance.
ORDER
Defendant's personal presence is ordered at every court proceeding in this action unless he is expressly excused by the court from appearing at that specific proceeding.
