ORDER RE REQUEST
TO CONTINUE TRIAL

Defendant.
/

14

A motion for continuance may be made but the prospects for relief are not great.

15

The Texas case has been advanced as of today to take some pressure off of counsel. The Court

16

believes that Judge Koh will accommodate counsel once our trial is underway. If not, there are a

17

large number of counsel in this case for both sides to be able to try this case effectively. If the

18

lead counsel is absent for a few days from our trial because of other commitments, it will be a

19

manageable problem in such a long trial as our own. The Court’s own calendar permits this case

20

to be tried, if at all, this year, starting APRIL 16. This is, in part, due to congestion arising from

21

the after-effects of the MS-13 trials (four of them over the last two years), causing a backlog.

22

The Court has reserved mid-April to mid-June for this case and counsel have been asked for

23

several months to do likewise. Any motion must be promptly made and promptly answered.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
