`
`Re: United States v. Xiao Yu Wang, et al., 18 Cr. 905 (LTS)
`
`Dear Judge Swain:
`
`The Government writes to respectfully request an adjournment of the next status
`
`conference in the above-captioned case, currently scheduled for October 22, 2020, for
`approximately 30 days. The parties are continuing to discuss potential pretrial resolutions, a
`process that has been made more difficult by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively
`impacted the parties’ ability to move the case forward. The Government consulted with defense
`counsel for each defendant, who consent to the adjournment.
`
`Accordingly, the Government respectfully requests that time be excluded under the Speedy
`Trial Act between October 22, 2020 through the next scheduled conference, because the “ends of
`justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the
`defendant in a speedy trial.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The Government consulted with defense
`counsel for each defendant, who do not object to the exclusion of time.
`
`The conference is adjourned to
`November 16, 2020, at 12:00 p.m.
`noon. The time period from today
`through November 16, 2020, is
`excluded from speedy trial
`computations for the reasons stated
`above. DE #s 155 and 156
`resolved.
`SO ORDERED.
`10/9/2020
`/s/ Laura Taylor Swain, USDJ
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`AUDREY STRAUSS
