`
`RE: United States v. Santos (Juan Mercedes) , 22-cr-522 (GHW)
`
`Dear Judge Woods:
`
`This letter is respectfully submitted to address my client’s absence from court this
`morning and to request a conference with Your Honor no earlier than September 13, 2023
`as I am out of the country.
`
`Today, just before 10:00 am EST, Christine Delince emailed me saying that Mr.
`Mercedes had not arrived at the courtroom. I called Mr. Mercedes’ mother who said that
`Mr. Mercedes had left early for court, and I so informed Ms. Delince. At about 10:35 a.m.
`Ms. Delince emailed me that the conference was over and that Mr. Mercedes did not appear.
`At about 11:00 a.m. Mr. Mercedes’ Pretrial Services Officer, Francesca Piperato, emailed me
`and Ms. Delince and reported that Mr. Mercedes was in her office. My understanding is that
`Mr. Mercedes arrived as the last of the people were leaving and not knowing what to do, Mr.
`Mercedes went to Pretrial Services. I spoke with Officer Piperato and then talked to AUSA
`Ashley Nicolas. Ms. Nicolas informed me that under the circumstances the Government
`would not be requesting a bench warrant. Instead, we agreed that we would jointly ask Your
`Honor to schedule a conference with Mr. Mercedes to address this matter.
`
`Accordingly, the Government joins me in requesting a conference before Your
`Honor no earlier than September 13, 2023.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`Jill R. Shellow
`Application granted. The Court will hold a status conference with respect to defendant Juan Mercedes on September 15, 2023 at
`10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 12C, Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, New York
`10007. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at Dkt. No. 218.
`
`SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: September 7, 2023
`New York, New York
