Case No. 23 CR 97-2 
 
Judge Elaine E. Bucklo 
 
AGREED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE 
 
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by MORRIS PASQUAL, Acting United 
States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, hereby submits this agreed 
motion for continuance and represent as follows: 
1. Defendant Scott is charged with 9 counts of wire fraud, in violation of 18 
U.S.C. § 1343. (R. 1). The parties are still actively engaged in negotiations 
and expect this matter to resolve short of trial. 
2. On November 26, 2024, U.S. Pretrial Services filed a violation report 
detailing state charges recently brought against defendant Scott. (R. 64.) 
The Court has set a rule to show cause hearing for Friday, December 13, 
2024. (R. 65.) 
3. Defendant’s next state court hearing is on Friday, December 19, 2024. 
4. Counsel and Pretrial Services conferred on December 12, 2024 and believe 
it is in the best interest of the proceedings to continue the rule to show cause 
hearing until early January 2025, after defendant’s next state court 
appearance, so the parties may better inform the Court of the status of the

proceedings underlying the violation report. 
5. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the 
aforementioned rule to show cause hearing (R. 66) to a date in early or mid 
January 20251 at the Court’s discretion. 
 
Date: December 12, 2024 
 
Respectfully submitted,
