WAIVER OF DEFENDANT’S 

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

2

Identity Theft.

Mr. Wilson lives in Knoxville, Tennessee and has appeared through his attorney of record, 

Carol Moses, pursuant to a Rule 43 Waiver for all Status Conferences. Mr. Wilson was 

personally present at his Initial Appearance.

Mr. Wilson requests a waiver of his personal appearance at the change of plea hearing and 

requests that he be allowed to appear by video conference because he lives in Tennessee with his 

wife and four children and works two full time jobs, of which the income of one is dedicated 

entirely for restitution in this criminal matter. To date, he has saved over $5,000 for restitution 

which is held in a separate bank account from his personal finances. A trip from Tennessee to 

California and back is estimated to cost $1,000. One thousand dollars is a lot of money for Mr. 

Wilson. He is struggling to provide for his family and at the same time set aside restitution for 

the victim.

As an aside Mr. Wilson is concerned that he may lose his jobs should he be absent from 

work when he travels from Tennessee to California for the change of plea hearing. He 

acknowledges he will go to prison, but would like to work as much as possible so that he can 

provide a cushion for his family and also pay as much restitution as possible prior to his prison 

stint.

Assistant United States Attorney, Mia Giacomazzi does not object to Mr. Wilson 

appearing by video conference for his change of plea hearing.
