Defendants James Larkin, Michael Lacey, Scott Spear, Jed Brunst, Andrew 

Padilla, and Joye Vaught move for a one-week extension of time in which to file a reply 

to the government’s response to the pending motion to dismiss. (Docs. 1557, 1577.) 

The Court scheduled oral argument for May 22, 2023. (Doc. 1578.) In light of the need 

to coordinate the filing among multiple defendants and counsel’s efforts to prepare for 

the upcoming trial, Defendants respectfully request that the Court enter an order 

extending the reply deadline from May 5, 2023 to May 12, 2023.

Counsel for Defendants have conferred with counsel for the government, and 

the United States does not object to this extension.

Excludable delay under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h) may occur as a result of this motion 

or an order based thereon. This motion is accompanied by a proposed order.
