`
`ORDER
`
`SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: June 5, 2020
`
`New York, New York
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In light of the multi-party nature of this case, and the logistical challenges posed by
`COVID-19, it is hereby ORDERED that:
`
`1. By June 15, 2020, each attorney shall deliver a hard drive to the Government. By
`June 29, 2020, the Government shall screen discovery materials for privilege, load
`non-privileged materials to hard drives provided by defense counsel, and deliver a
`loaded hard drive to (1) each detained Defendant, and (2) counsel for each Defendant
`out on bail.
`
`2. By July 17, 2020, the Coordinating Discovery Attorney (“CDA”) shall provide a
`report to the Court concerning the status of discovery.
`
`
`3. The Government and each defense attorney shall individually discuss those portions
`of discovery which the Government has identified as of particular relevance to that
`Defendant.
`
`4. The next status conference in this case shall start at 2:00 p.m. on August 4, 2020.
`Defendants shall appear in groups of three at a time to be assigned by the Court. By
`July 24, 2020, the parties shall indicate whether they consent to conducting the
`proceeding telephonically, and whether Defendants wish to appear telephonically or
`waive appearance altogether.
`
`
`5. It is further ORDERED that the time until August 4, 2020 is prospectively excluded
`under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7), because the ends of justice
`served by excluding such time outweigh the interests of the public and Defendants in
`a speedy trial in that this will allow time for the Government to provide discovery on
`hard drives to each Defendant and for Defendants to review such discovery.
