JOINT STATUS REPORT 
 
 
The United States of America, by its attorney, John R. Lausch, Jr., United 
States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and defendant Carlos Smith, 
through his attorney, Dena Singer, respectfully submit this joint status report in the 
above-referenced matter: 
1. 
On December 17, 2020, defendant was charged by indictment with two 
counts of wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343; one 
count of making false statements to a financial institution, in violation of Title 18, 
United States Code, Section 1014; and one count of money laundering, in violation of 
Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957. Dkt. 1. 
2. 
The government produced Rule 16 materials and other discovery 
materials to the defense. In March 2021, the government also sent to the defense a 
proposed plea agreement.  
3. 
On July 9, 2021, prior defense counsel filed a motion to withdraw as

4. 
Defense counsel requests an additional 30 days to review discovery with 
the defendant.  
5. 
Based on the length of time since indictment and the likelihood that the 
Court’s trial calendar is filling up for 2022, the government requests that the Court 
set a trial date for this matter. The government anticipates the case in chief, including 
jury selection, would take no longer than one week. 
6. 
The government moves to exclude time through the trial date (or, 
alternatively, through the next status date, if the Court does not set a trial date) in 
the interest of justice, without objection, until and through the trial date (or, 
alternatively, the next status date), pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
