Opinion
Criminal Case No. 08-cr-00161-EWN.
July 28, 2008
ORDER
This case comes before the court on a number of unopposed motions to extend by sixty days the time for filing the first round of defense motions. The recited necessity for more time is undoubtedly also the reason the Government does not oppose the motions: the Government has apparently failed to comply with court deadlines (the last of which expired June 16) for furnishing discovery. Of more concern, the Government never asked the court for an extension, nor has it ever given any reason for furnishing discovery over one month late. This conduct, on its face and without further explanation, is inexcusable. It is therefore ORDERED that the court will hold a status conference in this case at 3:30 o'clock p.m. on August 21, 2008 in courtroom A201.
