Minutes of proceedings [non-document] before Judge Sara Lioi. Status Hearing held on 11/21/2016. AUSAs Om Kakani and Michael Collyer present. FBI Special Agent Kirk Spielmaker present. Attorneys Larry Zukerman and Michael Lear present on behalf of defendant Edward R. Hills (1). Attorney Joseph Klammer present on behalf of defendant Sari Alqsous (2). Attorneys Richard Perez and Richard Drucker present on behalf of defendant Yazan B. Al-Madani (3). Attorney Jennifer Armstrong present on behalf of defendant Tariq Sayegh (4). Defendants Edward R. Hills (1), Sari Alqsous (2), Yazan B. Al-Madani (3), and Tariq Sayegh (4) present. The Court discussed with counsel and the parties the pending motion to continue and declare the case complex filed by defendants (Doc. No. [54]). No objection by counsel for the government. The Court grants the motion to continue, and finds that the ends of justice served by the motion for continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and defendants in a speedy trial, because failure to grant such a continuance would deny counsel for defendants the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. Additionally, the Court finds that this case is unusual and complex due to the number of defendants, the nature of the prosecution, and the volume of discovery anticipated, and that it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and trial within the time limits established in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161, again, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. Waiver of speedy trial forms signed by defendants. By agreement of all parties, the Court sets the following dates in this case: Final pretrial 5/10/2017 at 1:30 PM; Jury selection 6/2/2017 at 8:00 AM; Jury trial 6/5/2017 at 8:00 AM to begin with opening statements. The Court will issue a Trial Order with all of the dates and deadlines that will govern this case. The Court also discussed the government's motion for a conflicts inquiry regarding defendant Hills' counsel. (Doc. No. [56].) Defendant Hills stated that he intends to retain independent counsel to advise him on the potential conflict raised in the government's motion. With counsel present, the Court contacted the two individuals identified in the government's motion. Following the hearing, the Court contacted Attorney Thomas E. Conway, who has agreed to serve as conflicts counsel for the individual identified in the indictment as "Designee 1." The individual identified as "Attorney 1" will advise the Court if he wishes to retain counsel or have counsel appointed by the Court. A conflict of interest hearing will be held on 1/3/2017 at 10:00 AM. Additionally, the Court addressed the government's motion for a protective order to stay certain discovery in a related state civil action. (Doc. No. [46].) Defendant Hills advised that he does not oppose the motion. For good cause shown, the Court shall grant the government's motion, and will be filing a memorandum opinion explaining its ruling directly. In the interim, defendant Hills shall not depose any MetroHealth employees. Finally, the parties shall file by November 30, 2016 a proposed protective order that will govern discovery in this case. (Court Reporter: Lori Callahan) Time: 25 minutes. (S,He)
