The Court is in receipt of a letter from Curcio counsel filed on November 29, 2022. [ECF No. 20.] The request by Curcio counsel to adjourn the December 2, 2022 Status Conference is GRANTED. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Status Conference scheduled for December 2, 2022 at 10:00 AM is ADJOURNED to December 9, 2022 at 10:30 AM. Curcio counsel is reminded that they have been retained as independent counsel for purposes of aiding the Defendant in assessing the potential conflict of interest in this matter. Curcio counsel are not substitute counsel for the Defendant.
On the application of the Defendant, it is FURTHER ORDERED that, in the interest of justice, all time from today to December 9, 2022 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act.

The Government consents to the exclusion of time. [ECF No. 20.]
The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to terminate docket entry 20.
