RE: United States of America v.  Eric Rivera 
 Criminal No.: 24-267 (KMW)  
 
Dear Judge Williams: 
 
 
You have reset this matter  for August 11, 2025 for report by Mr. Rivera to 
obtain new counsel after granting my motion to withdraw. Your order required me 
to act as counsel and assist Mr. Rivera until he obtains new counsel.  
 
The Court initially  gave Mr. Rivera until July 22, 2025 to obtain new 
counsel. The Court scheduled a hearing for that date for the purposes of setting a 
trial date.  At Mr. Rivera’s request I then filed a Motion for an extension of time to 
obtain counsel. The Court’s text Order of July 23, 2025 has rescheduled that matter

for August 11, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. and requires Mr. Rivera to appear and  to obtain 
counsel by then.  
 I would like to either be excused from the August 11, 2025 hearing or to be 
allowed to appear via telephone from Miami, Florida. I have provided Mr. Rivera 
via email of the order requiring his appearance on August 11, 2025 and have 
received confirmation of him that he has received the order. I will continue to 
monitor the docket and provide Mr. Rivera with any new orders until he obtains 
new counsel.  
 
 
 
 
 
Respectfully Submitted,
