2. “Unlike the situations faced by the defendants in Neame, Mata Aguilar, and Rodriguez, where the defendants did not have any access to an interpreter, Alsa-nea was not deprived of his interpreter’s assistance. Indeed, after Alsanea’s attorney advised the district court that Alsa-nea wished to have the questions and answers in English, the district court nevertheless required Alsanea’s interpreter to be physically near- Alsanea -in the event he needed assistance. Having appointed an interpreter to be readily available to assist .Alsanea if necessary, the district court was under no obligation to constantly monitor the use which Alsanea and trial counsel made of the interpreter. . .”
