Judge William J. Martínez

Criminal Case No. 11-cr-00421-WJM

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

1. MOISES CARRERA

2. JORGE LUIS QUIROZ, JR.,

Defendant.

AMENDED ORDER RESETTING TRIAL DATE AND RELATED DEADLINES

This matter comes before the Court upon notice to it that the previous Speedy

Trial date of May 5, 2012 was incorrectly calculated by the Clerk’s Office when

Defendant’s Motion to Exclude 90 days (ECF No. 21) was granted. The Court is now

informed that the correct Speedy Trial date in this case upon the granting of ECF No. 21

is actually March 27, 2012. Accordingly, the current Trial date and related deadlines in

this case are hereby VACATED and RESET as follows:

A. All pretrial motions shall be filed by no later than February 13, 2012. 

Responses to these motions shall be filed by no later than February 23, 2012. No reply

shall be permitted without prior leave of Court. If a party believes an evidentiary hearing

on a pretrial motion is necessary, a written request for same must be made by no later

than the pretrial motion deadline;

B. The Court will not consider any motion related to the disclosure or

production of discovery that is addressed by the Discovery Memorandum and Order
2

and/or Fed. R. Crim. P. 16, unless prior to filing the motion counsel for the moving party

has conferred or made reasonable, good-faith efforts to confer with opposing counsel in

an effort to resolve the disputed matter. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute,

the moving party shall state in the motion the specific efforts which were taken to

comply with this Order to Confer. Counsel for the moving party shall submit a proposed

order with all motions, opposed and unopposed. Opposed disclosure or discovery

motions which do not demonstrate meaningful compliance with this Order to Confer will

be stricken;

C. Expert witness disclosures pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16 shall

be made no later than seven days before the pretrial motion deadline, and any

challenges to such experts shall be made by said deadline;

D. Disclosures regarding rebuttal expert witnesses shall be made one week

after the pretrial motion deadline, and any challenges to such rebuttal experts shall be

made no later than two weeks after said deadline;

E. Local Rule D.C.COLO.LCrR 11.1 applies fully to this case. Absent an

Order permitting or directing otherwise, a Notice of Disposition shall be filed no later

than 14 days before the trial date. Upon the filing of a Notice of Disposition the Court

will generally convert the Final Trial Preparation Conference to a Change of Plea

hearing, unless for good cause shown a party demonstrates the interests of justice are

better served by scheduling the Change of Plea hearing at a later date;

F. A Final Trial Preparation Conference is hereby set for March 16, 2012 at

2:00 p.m. in Courtroom A801. Lead counsel who will try the case must attend in

person. Any outstanding motions may be addressed at the time of the Final Trial

Preparation Conference; 

G. The parties must be prepared to address at the Final Trial Preparation

Conference some or all of the issues which may affect the duration or course of the trial 

referenced in the Court’s Revised Practice Standards applicable to such Conferences;

H. A 5-day jury trial is hereby set to commence in the U.S. Courthouse,

Courtroom A801, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado, on March 26, 2012 at 8:00 a.m.; 

I. Counsel are directed to this Court’s Revised Practice Standards to ensure

compliance with all deadlines triggered by the setting of the Final Trial Preparation

Conference and Trial; and

The 5 -day jury trial set to commence on May 7, 2012 at 8:00 a.m., and the Final

Trial Preparation Conference on April 27, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom A801 are
