`
`DEFENSE COUNSEL’S REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO APPEAR REMOTELY
`AT FIRST STATUS AFTER BENCH WARRANT RETURN
`AND RESOLUTIONOF VIABILITY ISSUE
`
`COMES NOWthedefendant, Walter Tripplett, by counsel, and hereby movesthis Honorable
`
`Court to permit undersigned counsel to appear remotely. The current date was set by stand-in
`
`counsel in C-10, upon resolution of the bench warrant.
`
`In support of this Motion,
`
`the defendant
`
`states as follows:
`
`1. This case was scheduled for a status hearing on March 3, 2024. The defendant did not
`
`appear and a bench warrant wasissued. Pretrial Services indicated that the defendant “reported
`
`losing his phone and [requested] to report in person.” PSA Report, 3/1/24. The defendant reported
`
`in person to PSA on February 29, 2024.
`
`2. On Friday, the defendant walked-in to Courtroom C-10 to resolve the bench warrant. The
`
`bench warrant was quashed and he wasreleased to return on Tuesday.
`
`'Due to his lack of a phone, undersigned counsel has been unable to contact the defendant.
`
`
`
`3. While undersigned counsel has another matter on the Court’s docket for Tuesday, the
`
`Court specifically permitted undersigned counsel to appear remotely in that matter. Undersigned
`
`counsel is away on a personal matter through mid- to late-May, depending on how things work out,
`
`but is able to appear remotely.’
`
`4, The morning that the bench warrant was issued, undersigned counsel received a Brady
`
`disclosure via email from AUSA Kirk Gandy indicating that the complainant does not remember the
`
`incident, which occurred in July 2023.
`
`In response to undersigned counselraising viability,
`
`the
`
`Court indicated that the issue would be addressed uponresolution of the bench warrant.
`
`It seems
`
`that the issue is now ripe and will nform the future direction ofthis case.
`
`WHEREFORE the defendant prays that this Honorable Court permit undersigned counsel
`
`to appear remotely on Tuesday, March 19, 2024.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
