`United States of America,
`
` Plaintiff,
`vs.
`
`Michael Lacey, et al.,
`
` Defendants.
`
`
`NO. CR-18-00422-PHX-SMB
`
`MOTION FOR LEAVE FOR COUNSEL
`TO APPEAR BY PHONE OR
`VIDEOCONFERENCING AT
`NOVEMBER 2, 2022 STATUS
`CONFERENCE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`NOW COMES the Defendant, Michael Lacey, by his attorney of record, to ask the Court
`to grant leave for his lawyer to appear by phone or videoconferencing at the November 2, 2022
`Status Conference as in this matter. As good cause therefore, the Defendant submits the following:
`Mr. Lacey’s attorney has pre-existing in-person hearings in the Erie County, New York
`Supreme Court for November 3, 4, and 15, 2022. It is not possible to travel to and from the District
`of Arizona for the November 2, 2022 Status Conference, and also properly prepare for, and attend
`the all-day hearings scheduled to begin in Erie County, New York on November 3, 2022.

`
`
`
`
`Additionally, counsel is scheduled to begin a murder trial on December 8, 2022, and must
`prepare for that trial, including interviewing and preparing witnesses, and other pretrial matters that
`must be done in person, in Buffalo, New York.
`Finally, because the government has seized the majority of Mr. Lacey’s assets, and the limited
`pool of assets available for trial costs was substantially depleted during the first trial in this case, assets
`necessary for travel and accomodations are in short supply and need to be preserved for the
`upcoming trial.
`The Government does not object to this Motion.
`The Court will find attached a proposed Order.
`RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 21st day of October, 2022,
