This is to confirm that Mr. Devereux, the Eighth Circuit budgeting attorney, will be in Kansas City on June 8, 2020, to meet with CJA counsel in the case concerning their budgets. As that date approaches we can set the time of the meeting. I will make my courtroom available that day for the parties. I have included government counsel on this e-mail because it will be important for defense counsel to have all of the discovery prior to that date. At our last meeting, it appeared all discovery would be produce by mid to late April, if that changes please let me know. If anyone has any questions or wishes to contact Mr. Devereux in advance his phone number is included in the Courts budgeting polices and procedures which are available on our website. Thank you and have a good weekend.
