6/9/2016ORDER as to Paul Ceglia. On or about March 6, 2015, Defendant Paul Ceglia cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and left his home in violation of the conditions of his bail, and is presently a fugitive. At a conference on March 10, 2015, I granted the Government's application to revoke Ceglia's bail, and that same day issued an Order directing the co-signors of Ceglia's bond to appear for a hearing on March 24, 2015, to address the Government's motion seeking an order: (1) declaring forfeited the $250,000 personal recognizance bond executed by Ceglia; (2) entering a default judgment in the amount of $250,000 in favor of the United States of America against Ceglia; (3) entering a judgment in the amount of $250,000 in favor of the United States of America and against the co-signers Carmine Ceglia, Veronica Ceglia, and Brendan Ceglia jointly and severally; and (4) declaring forfeited the properties securing Ceglia's bond. After the hearing on March 24, 2015, I issued the Bail Forfeiture Order. (Doc. 160.) At the Governments request the Bail Forfeiture Order did not order the properties forfeited so that the Government could conduct further analysis on their value if forfeited. (Id.) Pursuant to my order of March 27, 2015, (Doc. 161), I directed that the Government provide me with regular status update letters every four-months. The record indicates that the most recent status update letter was filed December 29, 2015, (Doc. 180); therefore, the next status update is overdue. It is hereby, ORDERED that the Government file a status update letter on or before June 24, 2016. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the status update letter should include information related to the Bail Forfeiture Order, including (1) the results of the Government's analysis concerning the value of the properties subject to forfeiture and (2) the Government's efforts, if any, to collect on the amount of the bond from the co-singers. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 6/9/2016)(bw) (Entered: 06/09/2016)
12/29/2015 LETTER by USA as to Paul Ceglia addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from Janis M. Echenberg and Alexander J. Wilson dated 12/29/2015 re: The Government writes pursuant to the Courts March 27, 2015 Order requiring that we advise the Court every four months, beginning May 1, 2015, regarding the Governments efforts to locate Paul Ceglia, the above-captioned defendant (Ceglia). fugitive his location, as well as that of his wife and two minor children, remain unknown. The Government, in particular the United States Marshals Service, continues to diligently investigate Ceglias whereabouts as well as those who may be assisting him in flight, using a variety of law enforcement tools and following up on leads from those responding to requests for information. The Government will update the Court again in four months, unless there are significant developments warranting an earlier notification (jw) (Entered: 02/09/2016)
9/2/2015ORDER as to Paul Ceglia. Time excluded from 9/2/2015 until 1/4/2016. I am in receipt of the Governments status update letter of September 1, 2015. Pursuantto 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(3), the time within which a trial must commence is automatically excluded while the Defendants whereabouts are unknown and, in addition, he is attempting to avoid apprehension or prosecution or his whereabouts cannot be determined by due diligence. I have requested periodic status updates from the Government to keep informed concerning whether Defendants whereabouts remain unknown and cannot be determined by due diligence. In addition, in an abundance of caution, I also find that the time between September 2, 2015 and January 4, 2016 should be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act. This exclusion is necessary since Defendants absence continues to prevent defense counsel from consulting with his client and from preparing this case for trial. I find that the ends of justice served by excluding the time outweigh the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 9/2/2015)(jw) (Entered: 09/02/2015)
9/1/2015 LETTER by USA as to Paul Ceglia addressed to Judge Vernon S. Broderick from Janis M. Echenberg and Alexander J.

The Government also notes that, in an Order dated May 8, 2015, the Court ordered that time was automatically excluded given the defendants fugitive status but also excluded time. between May 8, 2015 and August 8, 2015 under the Speedy Trial Act, in the interests of justice. The Government respectfully request that the Court clarify on the record that time continues to be excluded while the defendant is a fugitive. (jw) (Entered: 02/09/2016)
