Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 43(b)(2), Cesar Ceja, having been advised of his right to be personally present at all stages of the proceedings, hereby requests that this Court permit him to waive his right to personally appear for the change of plea hearing on October 25 and that he be allowed to appear by video from the United States District Courthouse in Miami, Florida. The Government has no objection to this request. This Court, pursuant to Rule 43(b)(2), has the authority to allow Mr. Ceja to appear by video for the upcoming change of plea hearing.

Mr. Ceja is currently working in Miami, Florida. As the Court is already aware, Mr. Ceja lost his travel documents. Unfortunately, he is still waiting on a replacement ID to travel back to California.
