Re: United States v. Ilori., 21 Cr. 746 (MKV) 
Your Honor: 
I represent Mr. Adedayo Ilori in the above-referenced matter.  I write to request the Court’s 
authorization to have an associate counsel assigned.  Because this letter requests permission to 
expend CJA funds related to the defense, it is submitted ex parte pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 
3006(A) and 3599(f).  This application is necessary for my effective representation of Mr. Ilori.     
As the Court is aware, Mr. Ilori is awaiting sentencing following a jury verdict, guilty on 
Counts 1-6, on November 1, 2022.  The proposed associate counsel will assist in all aspects of Mr. 
Ilori’s defense in connection with sentencing, including Mr. Ilori’s sentencing submission, which 
is due on January 17, 2023.  Associate Counsel will also assist with Mr. Ilori’s appeal, if we 
continue to represent Mr. Ilori on appeal. The proposed associate counsel is Christopher A. 
DeGennaro, Esq., who is a mentee in the Eastern District’s Mentoring Program.  Mr. DeGennaro 
has many years of trial experience as a state prosecutor and attorney at Foley & Lardner LLP.     
The Board of Judges of the Eastern District of New York has implemented a Mentoring 
Program, which assigns experienced members of the District’s CJA Panel to act as mentors for 
attorneys interested in applying to the Panel.  The program is intended to improve the diversity 
and overall quality of the CJA Panel and is open to all interested and qualified attorneys.  The 
Program is designed to provide those attorneys with federal experience by pairing them with 
mentors and assigning them to cases that the District Court believes are of sufficient complexity to 
warrant the services of multiple attorneys.  The mentee works under the close supervision of the 
mentoring attorney and is subject to the approval of the client and the District Judge to whom the 
case is assigned.  The Mentee provides the first 15 hours on a pro bono basis, and thereafter may 
bill at a rate of $103.00 per hour.  Susan Kellman and Michael Hueston are co-Directors of the 
Eastern District’s Program.

If this request meets with the Court’s approval, I would appreciate if Your Honor would 
endorse the proposed order, so that I may create an e.voucher and have Mr. DeGennaro begin 
working on the case. 
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
