ORDER  
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Notices of Suggestion of Death filed by 
counsel for Defendants Khalil Ramos de Jesus and Jose Ramos Pimentel-Rivera, respectively. 
(ECF Nos. 49 and 50). The United States (the “Government”) filed a response indicating that 
it has received information that the above-named Defendants were fatally shot on October 
14, 2020, but it has yet to receive death certificates confirming the same. (ECF No. 51). The 
Government further states that it has no objection to the charges filed against those 
defendants being dismissed without prejudice while the Government obtains the death 
certificates. Accordingly, after careful consideration and review, it is hereby  
              ORDERED that if the Government intends to dismiss the charges in these cases, the 
Government shall file the appropriate motion within five (5) days of the date of this Order.
