COMES NOW, the State of Georgia, by and through Fulton County District Attorney
Fani T. Willis, and requests this Honorable Court enter a pretrial scheduling order governing the
deadlines for 23SC188947, State of Georgia v. Donald John Trump et al.

proposed Pretrial Scheduling Order for the Court’s consideration containing the State’s proposed
deadlines and other relevant dates.
