UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE 
EVIDENTIARY HEARING 
 
COMES NOW CARL TORJAGBO, by and through undersigned 
counsel and hereby moves this Court to continue the evidentiary 
hearing currently set in the above-captioned case for October 7th at 
11:15am for 30 days and in support thereof, shows the Court the 
following. 
On August 29, 2023, the government filed a motion for 
interlocutory sale of three pieces of real property owned by Mr. 
Torjagbo. In its motion, the government alleges that the subject 
properties are at risk of deterioration or decay and are accruing 
unpaid taxes, thus permitting the interlocutory sale. See 
(Docs.61,95,104). In his response, Mr. Torjagbo contends that he does 
not accede to the government’s assertion that the condition of the 
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC     Document 118     Filed 10/02/24     Page 1 of 3

property is rapidly deteriorating or that the property is at risk of 
deterioration or decay. (Doc.103). This Court found that in its 
response to Mr. Torjagbo’s contention, the government had not 
presented any evidence to support its allegations. As such, an 
evidentiary hearing is scheduled on October 7, 2023, at 11:15am on 
the government’s motion for interlocutory sale. 
On September 29, 2024, Kendal Silas, counsel for Mr. Torjagbo, 
had a family medical emergency which required him to immediately 
travel to Mississippi. Based on the nature of the emergency, it is not 
anticipated that Mr. Silas will be returning to the district or resume 
representation of his cases for at least thirty (30) days. As such, Mr. 
Torjagbo, is requesting a continuance of the evidentiary hearing in 
this matter for thirty days. 
Counsel communicated with Government’s counsel, Nicholas 
Evert who does not oppose said continuance. 
WHEREFORE, for the above-stated reasons, Mr. Torjagbo 
respectfully requests that this Court grant his unopposed motion to 
continue the evidentiary hearing in the above captioned case from 
October 7, 2023, for at least thirty days.
