SCHEDULING ORDER

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.

On March 4, 2019, the Court held a long-term scheduling conference in the above-captioned case as to Defendants Denis Barrera-Palma, Mario Alexander Garcia, Francisco Lizano, Ever Membreno, Edgar Torres-Amador, Lorenzo Amador, Jose Wilson Navarette-Mendez, Denis Rodolfo Alfaro-Torres, Santos Bonilla, Henry Bonilla, Christian Hidalgo, Marvin Villegas-Segovia, Brenda Yajaira Morales-Ruiz, Claudia Elizabeth Lizaola, and Oscar Antonio Reyes. Defense counsel Mark Broughton, Peter Jones, Edward Marshall Hodgkins, Nicholas Capozzi for Michael Aed, Dale Blickenstaff, Scott Quinlan, Roger Wilson, John Garland, Nicholas Capozzi, Roger Bonakdar, Daniel Harralson, Richard Beshwate, John Meyer, Carrie McCreary, and Gary Huss appeared on behalf of their respective clients. Kimberley Sanchez and Kathleen Servatius appeared on behalf of the Government.

The Court made a determination that this case is a complex case within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii), and that time is to be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, as good cause exists and the ends of justice outweigh the interest of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial. See Bloate v. United States, 559 U.S. 196, 210 (2010). Pursuant to discussions with counsel at the scheduling conference, the Court ORDERS that this case proceed as follows:

1. Discovery

The parties shall provide all Rule 16 discovery other than expert reports and disclosures by no later than July 1, 2019. The parties shall appear before Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill for a conference regarding the status of discovery on Monday, June 3, 2019 at 1:30 pm in Courtroom 4.

2. Plea Offers

The Government will make plea offers for all defendants in this case by July 15, 2019.

3. Non-in Limine Motions

All non-in limine motions must be filed on or before November 4, 2019. Oppositions must be filed on or before December 2, 2019. Replies must be filed on or before December 16, 2019. A hearing on any non-in limine motions filed is set for Friday, January 10, 2020 at 8:30 am in Courtroom 4 before Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill.

4. Motions in Limine

All motions in limine must be filed on or before March 2, 2020. Oppositions must be filed on or before March 16, 2020. Replies must be filed on or before March 23, 2020. A hearing on motions filed pursuant to the above provision is set for Monday, March 30, 2020 at 1:30 pm in Courtroom 4 before Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill.

5. Trial Date

The trial is set to begin on Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at 8:30 am in Courtroom 4 before Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill. This date, due to the enormous task of obtaining non-conflicting dates from all counsel, coupled with how much time all parties are being given to get the discovery and trial preparation completed, will NOT BE CHANGED. Any conflict that arises for the now-set trial date in this case will be a conflict in the OTHER case (State or Federal), and not this case. This includes the understanding that counsel are to advise any other judge from any other court as soon as a possible conflict arises of the specific special setting of this case. If there is push back from the other court, counsel are required to notify this Court of the problem immediately, and this Court will make appropriate court-to-court contacts. The Court expects counsel to not agree to the setting of any other case that has the potential of interfering with the start of this trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
