United States District Judge
District of New Jersey

RE: United States v. Rivera
Criminal Indictment No.: 1:24-CR-267(KMW)

Dear Judge Williams:

On October 2, 2025 the Court rescheduled the Status Hearing for 3:00 on November
6, 2025. Since that calendaring, counsel for Mr. Rivera has sent the necessary hard drives
to the government for downloading of the discovery. Additionally, undersigned has received
a subset of the discovery to expedite review and preparation. There also has been a
discussion about a possible resolution of the case.

Mr. Rivera is requesting that instead of requiring him to personally appear before the
Court for the Status Hearing, that he and his counsel be allowed to participate by telephone
or video conferencing. The government takes no position regarding this request. We will
be prepared for the hearing regardless of how the Court rules on this request.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

fey Steoegete

Jay L. Strongwater
