Summary
The government's motion to continue the trial date and all trial-related deadlines in United States v. Anna Marie Omar, No. 1:24-cr-00036, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, filed August 6, 2024 as Doc. 27. The motion recounts that a three-count indictment returned February 21, 2024 charges the defendant under 18 U.S.C. § 1014, 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(B)(i) and 18 U.S.C. § 1957, and that trial is set for August 13, 2024. It states that a plea hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2024 and that trial preparation would therefore be inefficient. The government asks the Court to continue the trial date and deadlines by at least 30 days, noting it could not reach defense counsel for concurrence. It is signed by Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan T. Storage, with service on Clint Carte of the Office of the Federal Public Defender.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA BLUEFIELD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CRIMINAL NO. 1:24-CR-00036 ANNA MARIE OMAR GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND ALL TRIAL-RELATED DEADLINES Comes now the United States of America, by Jonathan T. Storage, Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, and files this motion to continue the scheduled trial date and all trial-related deadlines. In support of its motion, the government states the following: 1. On February 21, 2024, a federal Grand Jury, sitting in Charleston, West Virginia, returned a three-count Indictment against the defendant, charging her with one count of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1014, one count of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(B)(i), and one count of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1957. ECF No. 4. 2. Trial is currently set for August 13, 2024, in Bluefield. ECF No. 20. 3. On July 22, 2024, the government filed a motion to schedule a guilty plea hearing. ECF No. 25. 4. On July 23, 2024, the Court granted the government’s motion to schedule the plea hearing. ECF No. 26. Case 1:24-cr-00036 Document 27 Filed 08/06/24 Page 1 of 3 PageID #: 71 2 5. The plea hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. in Bluefield. ECF No. 26. 6. Today, August 6, 2024, proposed jury instructions and voir dire are due to the Court. ECF No. 26. 7. Because the parties intend for a guilty plea to be offered and accepted on August 12, 2024, preparation for trial would be an inefficient use of the Court’s and counsel’s resources. 8. The government represents that the undersigned AUSA attempted to contact counsel for the defense to seek his concurrence as to this motion, but the government has learned that defense counsel is away on vacation and unavailable. For the foregoing reasons, the government requests that the Court enter and order continuing the trial date and all trial- related deadlines by a period of at least 30 days.
