`
`Dear Judge Daniels:
`
`I represent Nikolay Tupikin, he is scheduled to take a plea on Thursday
`
`October 8, 2020. Since the onset of the Covid l9 pandemic, l have been conferring
`
`with Mr. Tupikin by phone utilizing the services of court authorized Russian
`
`interpreter Yanna Yagoureev. I respectfully request that the Court recommend Ms.
`
`Yagoureev as the translator for this Thursday’s plea proceeding. Ms. Yagoureev is
`
`a certified Russian interpreter for 20 years and is on the SDNY roster of certified
`
`court interpreters. She has appeared hundreds of times in the SDNY in this
`
`capacity.
`
`I have spoken with AUSA Hellman about this request and he has no
`
`objections. Thank you.
