MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 1/5/2026. John Mattos's counsel seeks permission to appear virtually for the January 7th hearing. ECF No. 17 . Counsel submits that a remote appearance would conserve resources and would not hinder arguments as Mattos has no independent authority to release the petitioner. Id. I find good cause to grant the motion. Counsel is advised to contact the courtroom administrator for the Zoom link information.
