SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 13 – John Depeyster is awaiting sentencing and on July 13 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods suggested doing it in person as early as next week.   
Depeyster's lawyer Inga L. Parson said she is scheduled to visit prisons in Massachusetts next week, them proposed putting it off more than a month to August 24. 
 Judge Woods, who had said pointedly that the SDNY courthouse is ready for in-person proceedings which he said are already taking place (Inner City Press is on the lookout but so far has seen only one scheduled, without appearance, before Chief Judge Colleen McMahon), agreed to August 24.
The case is US v. Depeyster, 19-cr-253 (Woods)
