The following excerpt is from United States v. Henry, 888 F.3d 589 (2nd Cir. 2018):
Similarly, in United States v. Huang ,67 the district court declared a mistrial, over the defendant's objection, because it found that the interpreter being used was not court-certified. Because the defendant expressed a desire to waive his right to a court-certified interpreter and proceed with trial, he appealed the mistrial order.68
