states as follows: 
1. 
Prior to filing the instant motion, the undersigned communicated with

Acosta’s first motion for continuance of calendar call and trial.

2. 
On October 19, 2023 Acosta was arraigned. On October 25, 2023, the 
government disclosed its first discovery submission. Calendar call is presently set 
for November 28, 2023 and trial is set for December 4, 2023. 
3. 
The parties agree to a ninety (90) extension of time so that the Defense 
may complete discovery. Specifically, the undersigned is in the process of issuing 
multiple subpoenas to produce documents and records on third parties who the 
undersigned believes may possess exculpatory evidence that is material to Acosta’s 
defense. 
4. 
Additionally, the undersigned attorney has been ordered to appear for 
jury duty in this district on December 4, 2023 and is therefore unavailable for trial. 
WHEREFORE, the Defendant and the undersigned attorney respectfully 
motion this Court continue the presently scheduled calendar call and trial by ninety 
(90) days. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Respectfully Submitted,
