Re: 
United States v. Adedayo Ilori, 21 Cr. 746 (MKV) 
 
Dear Judge Lehrburger: 
 
Yesterday, on May 19, 2026, the Honorable Mary Kay Vyskocil, U.S. District Judge, 
referred this matter to Your Honor, the U.S. Magistrate Judge on duty this week, “for the purposes 
of appointing counsel.”  (Dkt. 168 at 2).  Upon consultation with this District’s Criminal Docket 
Clerk, to whom the Government has provided a list of conflicted counsel, the Government writes 
to respectfully request that the Court appoint, by Court Order, the appropriate CJA attorney on 
duty as counsel to defendant Adedayo Ilori.  The Government submits that the appointment of the 
CJA attorney on duty as counsel would be appropriate because the Second Circuit has remanded 
this case to the district court for a retrial and the defendant presently lacks counsel in this District.  
Further, because the defendant is currently housed at FMC Devens, in Ayer, Massachusetts and 
the Government understands from the U.S. Marshals Service that it may take at least several weeks 
for the defendant to be transported to this District, the prompt appointment of counsel by Court 
Order would provide counsel with additional time to confer with the defendant and the 
Government, prepare for a retrial, and engage in discussions regarding a potential resolution of the 
matter without the need for a retrial. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
