ORDER as to Roger Ralston, Christopher Wright, Steven Hooper: The Court has received written submissions from the Government and Mr. Wright on the outstanding "Bruton" issue, familiarity with which is here assumed. While the Court is not yet decided as to whether any of the sample "Bruton-raising" items submitted by the Government can be adequately sanitized, the likelihood remains high that the entire issue may be rendered moot for any of the several reasons apparent from the parties' papers. Accordingly, the severance motion of defendant Wright is once again denied and the trial of defendants Wright and Hooper jointly will go forward as scheduled on April 25, 2022.

Counsel are directed to confer and, within two business days of this Order, submit a joint letter indicating their views on whether the proceeding should be held or if it should be adjourned (and, if so, for how long). If either party believes that the proceeding should be held, counsel should explain why and indicate their views on (1) whether the proceeding should be held in person or remotely; and (2) whether, if permitted Court under the Constitution, the Federal Rules, and the CARES Act, the Defendant consents to a remote proceeding and/or to waiving his/her appearance altogether. If the Defendant is detained, counsel should identify the facility in which the Defendant is held and their USMS number; if the Defendant is not detained, counsel should indicate whether the Defendant would be capable of participating in a remote proceeding. Counsel is advised that, for the foreseeable future, some facilities (including the Metropolitan Correctional Center and the Metropolitan Detention Center) may require that any inmate appearing in court be quarantined for 14 days upon returning from their appearance. After reviewing the parties' joint letter, the Court will issue an order indicating whether the proceeding will be held and, if so, how; and addressing any other relevant deadlines and information. If a proceeding is held, it may have to be at a different time. To that end, counsel should indicate in their joint letter dates and times during the week of the currently scheduled proceeding that they would be available for a proceeding, whether in person or remote. In the event of a remote proceeding, counsel should review and comply with the Court's Emergency Individual Rules and Practices in Light of COVID-19, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman.

Order with OCR 38 Filed: 5/27/2020, Entered: 5/27/2020 OrderCourt Filing
ORDER as to Roger Ralston: In light of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the Court is unable to hold the upcoming conference in this case in person. Counsel are directed to confer and, within two business days of this Order, submit a joint letter indicating their views on whether a conference is necessary or if it should be adjourned (and, if so, for how long). Given that it may be difficult to hold a conference (even by telephone or video) for some time, the parties are encouraged to address in their letter any issues that would have been addressed at a conference, including but not limited to discovery, motions, trial date, and exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. If appropriate, the parties may submit a proposed order for the Court's consideration. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 5/27/2020)(See ORDER as further set forth) (lnl)
