`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
`
`
`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 MARCH
`20, 2023 HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`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 March 20, 2023 Hearing
`in this matter. As good cause therefore, the Defendant submits the following:
`Mr. Lacey’s counsel is currently on trial in Erie County, New York in People v. Martinez, Erie
`Cnty. Sup. Ct. Case No. 01686-2020, defending another client who is charged with murder. The
`trial begins today, March 13, 2023, and is projected to last two weeks. It is not possible to travel to
`and from the District of Arizona for the March 20, 2023 Hearing while on trial in Erie County, New
`York at the same time.

`
`
`
`
`Further, 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 13th day of March, 2023,
