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.
Respectfully submitted,
JAY CLAYTON
United States Attorney for the
