SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 20 – Victoria Dieuy Ho and two others are charged with fraudulently seeking Paycheck Protection Program loans for Victoria's Day Spa & Nails 2000 Inc.

  The case is assigned to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Valerie E. Caproni, who on June 16 set an in-person status conference in the case for July 8 at 11 am. 

  Victoria Ho's lawyer on June 16 wrote to Judge Caproni and said "Ms. Ho has not been vaccinated [REDACTED]... Ms. Ho is prepared to waive her appearance at this status conference."  

 Judge Caproni has responded into the docket, "There is no need for Ms. Ho to waive her appearance at the status conference. Absent unusual circumstances, the Court expects criminal Defendants to attend all proceedings. Not being vaccinated is not an unusual circumstance." Inner City Press is tracking this and other cases.

This case is US v. Nguyen, et al., 21-cr-403 (Caproni)
