  • Order
ORDER as to Alaa Ahmad: The parties have requested that the Court hear the guilty plea of Alaa Ahmad via videoconference and Ahmad has consented to plead guilty remotely. Pursuant to § 15002(b)(2) of the CARES Act, and the finding by Chief Judge Brodie in AO-2021-5 that felony pleas under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure cannot be conducted in person without seriously jeopardizing public health and safety due the current national health crisis, I find a remote plea hearing in this case to be warranted. Therefore, the hearing is scheduled, by videoconference, for April 29, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Ordered by Judge Eric N. Vitaliano on 4/29/2021. (Gary, Jordan) (Entered: 04/29/2021)
