Pursuant to this waiver, Defendant, Vladimir Blasko, having been advised of his right to

18

be present at all stages of the proceedings, hereby requests that this Court proceed in his absence

19

at the status conference on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. In order to avoid being

20

brought to court for the February 28, 2018 status conference, Mr. Blasko hereby agrees that his

21

interests shall be represented at all times by the presence of his attorney, the Office of the Federal

22

Defender for the Eastern District of California, the same as if Defendant were personally present,

23

and requests that this Court allow his attorney-in-fact to represent his interests at this hearing. As

24

the February 28, 2018 status conference will only be a hearing at which a future court date will

25

be set, Defendant agrees to waive his presence for such a hearing.

26

The government has no objection to this request.
