counsel would need an opportunity to file any objections he or she may have 

to the Report and Recommendation before the District Judge’s final ruling(s) 

on the motions.

2) Assistant U.S. Attorney, Angela Woolridge, has been contacted and has stated 

she has no objection to this request. 

3) All other remaining attorneys for other defendants join in this request. 

For the foregoing reasons, the Defendant respectfully requests that the dates 

indicated herein are continued for no less than ninety days. 

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 112th day of March, 2020.
