58	Filed: 12/4/2025, Entered: 12/4/2025	Status Hearing
	MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Status hearing held 12/4/2025. All defendants were present and each had the assistance of counsel. The parties agree that the Government has tendered two rounds of discovery and that a third round of discovery remains which will be tendered in January. Defense counsel report that there are likely to be pre-trial motions filed regarding discovery and to dismiss the indictment. The next status is to be held 1/28/2026 at 10:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1725. Time is excluded through 1/28/2026 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) as it is in the interests of justice for the defendants to be able to receive and review the discovery and to research and file any appropriate pre-trial motions and that interest outweighs the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

The time from 11/12/2025 through 12/04/2025 is excluded under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) to serve the ends of justice.
