GOVERNMENT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE ITS MOTIONS REGARDING HONEYCUTT, THOMPSON, AND THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT AS APPLIED TO THE DEFENDANTS OR TO SETTLE UNDER ECF NO. 872
(TENTH REQUEST)
JAMES C. MAHAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
This Motion to Extend Time is the tenth request. LR IA 6-1.
The United States of America respectfully moves this Court for an Order extending the time for the government to file its Motions Regarding Honeycutt, Thompson, and the Eighth Amendment as Applied to the Defendants or to Settle under ECF No. 872. The reason is the parties are actively engaged in negotiations to resolve the forfeiture matters. The current deadline is August 4, 2022. The government requests an extension until February 3, 2023.
The forensic review of the records is completed. The parties continue to negotiate the settlement of their respective forfeiture amounts. The two defendants need more time to review the forensic records, the underlying documents, the summary, and the analysis of these many records.
On July 21, 2022, Angela Dows, counsel for Melissa R. Beecroft, agreed to this extension. On July 25, 2022, John Kirby, counsel for Eve E. Mazzarella, agreed to this extension.
Because of the foregoing reasons, the government requests the extension of time until February 3, 2023, for the defendants to finish reviewing the records, defendants and the government to settle, and if settlements do not occur, to place the required documents on a computer program as evidence, to file motions, responses, replies, and to have a forfeiture hearing.
This Motion is not submitted solely for the purpose of delay or for any other improper purpose.
This Court should grant an extension of time to, and including, February 3, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
