who requests a modification of the scheduled Status Hearing.  In support thereof, the
defendant shows the Court the following:
1.
A Status Hearing is currently scheduled for Friday, September 26, 2025.  The 
defendant is ordered to appear at the hearing with his new counsel.  (Dkt 93).
2.
On Monday, September 22, 2025, the undersigned filed his notice of
appearance of behalf of Mr. Rivera.  (Dkt 94) In correspondence to the Court, a

3.
Also on September 22, 2025, counsel for Mr. Rivera had an initial conference
with Assistant United States Attorney Daniel Friedman.  One of the topics discussed
was this upcoming Status Hearing.  It is counsel’s understanding from that telephone
call  that the government would prefer to have Mr. Rivera attend the Status Hearing
in person.  However, Mr. Friedman does not object to resetting the date and time of
the Hearing to a later date.
Wherefore, Eric Rivera requests that the Status Hearing be conducted either
by telephone or video on September 26, 2025 or that the Hearing be rescheduled to
a later date.
Respectfully submitted,
