Re: 
United States v. Adedayo Ilori, 21 Cr. 746 (MKV) 
 
Dear Judge Vyskocil: 
 
Following yesterday’s issuance of the Second Circuit’s mandate and this Court’s 
scheduling a status conference to be held on May 28, 2026 at 10 a.m., (Dkt. 165, 166), and after 
conferring with defendant Adedayo Ilori’s appellate counsel, Robert A. Culp, Esq., of Garrison, 
New York, the Government respectfully writes, with the consent of Mr. Culp, to make two requests 
and provide an update as to Ilori’s current housing.   
 
First, the Government requests that the Court appoint Ilori counsel in this District, as Mr. 
Culp has advised that, among other things, he does not do trial work and will not be representing 
Ilori in the district court.  Second, the Government, with Mr. Culp’s consent, requests that the 
Court exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), from today, May 19, 
2026, through and including May 28, 2026, the date of the next conference.  The Government 
respectfully submits that an exclusion of time under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) would serve the 
ends of justice and outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy retrial 
because it would allow for the appointment of new counsel, the defendant’s transportation to this 
District, and the parties to engage in discussions regarding a potential resolution of the matter 
without the need for a retrial.

Finally, the Government notes that Ilori is currently housed at FMC Devens, in Ayer, 
Massachusetts.  The Government is in the process of conferring with the U.S. Marshals Service to 
facilitate Ilori’s transportation to this District.  If the Government learns of any information 
indicating that Ilori will not arrive in time for the next status conference on May 28, 2026, the 
Government will promptly inform the Court.
