Criminal Case No. 23-60170-CR-Scola 
Trial Order 
This case is set to begin trial on Monday June 3, 2024, at 9:00 A.M. at 
the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. United States Courthouse, 400 N. Miami Avenue, 
Courtroom 12-3, Miami, Florida. The Court orders the parties to file their 
proposed voir dire questions (following the guidelines set forth in the Court’s 
scheduling order setting trial date (ECF No. 14 at 2)) by May 28, 2024, and 
their witness lists and exhibit lists by May 30, 2024. The Court will read the 
parties’ witness lists to the prospective jurors during the selection process. 
Consequently, the parties should endeavor to tailor their witness lists to 
include only those witnesses whom they reasonably believe they will call to 
testify. If a party does not intend to call any witnesses or to proffer any 
exhibits, the party must file a Notice informing the Court that he or she will not 
be filing a witness or exhibit list. This Notice is due by May 30, 2024. 
The Court further orders the parties to file their proposed jury 
instructions jointly, though they need not agree on each proposed instruction. 
If the parties both agree on a proposed instruction, that instruction must be 
set out in regular typeface. Instructions proposed only by the Government 
must be underlined. Instructions proposed only by the Defendant must be 
bold-faced. Every instruction must be supported by a citation of authority. The 
parties must use as a guide the Eleventh Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions for 
Criminal Cases, including the directions to counsel. The parties must jointly 
file their proposed jury instructions (including a verdict form) via CM/ECF, and 
must also submit their proposed jury instructions and verdict form to the 
Court via e-mail at scola@flsd.uscourts.gov in Word format (.doc) by June 3, 
2024. 
The Court further orders the Government to submit a Word (.doc) 
version of the Superseding Indictment (ECF No. 23) to the Court via e-mail at 
scola@flsd.uscourts.gov. This editable version of the Superseding Indictment is 
necessary in case the Court needs to provide the jury with a redacted version of

the Superseding Indictment. The Government must submit (via e-mail) this 
editable version of the Superseding Indictment by June 3, 2024.

the Government must turn over to defense counsel all anticipated Jencks Act
