Thanks, Melissa. Is it possible for to get a test in Memphis tomorrow? The places here may not get her test results back fast enough.¶

Thanks, is not vaccinated so we will need the test site information. Thank you!¶

Hi Melissa,¶

Great questions. Fully vaccinate visitors do not need to show proof of vaccination. Unvaccinated visitors do need to test negative within two days of entering the building. Are you able to confirm whether is vaccinated?¶

For both of you, we can refer you to a nearby COVID test site if needed.¶

Thanks,¶

I was just checking the SDNY’s COVID-19 protocols.¶

1. Do fully vaccinated visitors need to show proof of vaccination?

2. Do unvaccinated visitors need to show proof of a negative COVID test?

Hi Melissa,¶

I hope all’s well. We spoke to and we’re planning to fly her here on Wednesday morning for potential testimony Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. We’ve also set up a prep by phone for 6:30 eastern tomorrow. Does that work for you?¶

Thanks!¶

I recognize that you have a lot going on with moving parts. I do no miss litigation! You can coordinate travel with FedEx will handle my travel. We are just trying to coordinate as much as we can.¶

Thank you!¶

Hi Melissa,¶

Let me confirm but I think that should be fine.¶

Also, should I coordinate logistics for travel and setting up a prep through you, or is it all right if I reach out to directly?¶

Our manager would like a FedEx attorney (me) to be present when testifies. Will there be any problem with me getting into the court room during her testimony?¶
