ORDER 
GÓMEZ, J. 
 
This case commenced on September 13, 2018, when the Grand 
Jury returned a seven-count indictment against three defendants. 
Since then, the Grand Jury has returned several superseding 
indictments that added additional defendants and charges. The 
most recent indictment charges eleven defendants with 47 counts. 
 
The Court has continued the trial on multiple occasions. On 
January 28, 2020, the Court rescheduled the trial to commence on 
May 18, 2020. 
 
On February 4, 2020, at an off-the-record status conference 
in chambers, the United States and various defense counsel 
expressed a desire to continue the trial to a date in June, 
2020. 
 
Later that day, the United States filed a motion on the 
docket requesting a continuance of the trial date to a date on 
or after June 1, 2020. In that motion, the United States 
recounted that, at the status conference earlier that day, 
several defense counsel had concurred with its desire to 
continue the trial to June.  
 
The premises considered, it is hereby 
 
ORDERED that, by no later than 5:00 p.m. on February 21, 
2020, the United States shall file a notice advising the Court 
whether all defendants concur with the request to continue the 
Case: 3:18-cr-00030-TJS-RM     Document #: 712     Filed: 02/14/20     Page 3 of 4

trial date to a date on or after June 1, 2020. The notice shall 
also advise the Court which, if any, defendants wish to proceed 
to trial as currently scheduled.
