SECOND CONSENT MOTION TO CONTINUE MOTIONS DEADLINE 
 
 
COMES NOW the defendant, Craig David Davis, through counsel, who states: 
1. The government obtained an indictment in this case on February 15, 2024, 
charging Mr. Davis with four counts of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 
1343, and added an additional count in a superseding indictment obtained on 
May 16, 2024.  Mr. Davis made his initial appearance in the Eastern District 
of California on February 21, 2024, and traveled to this jurisdiction for his 
arraignment on March 7, 2024.  He waived in-person appearance and appeared 
through counsel at the arraignment on the superseding indictment on May 23, 
2024. 
2. Trial has been set for October 22, 2024.  On an agreed motion by the defense, 
the Court previously extended the motions deadline to June 5, 2024. 
3. The parties have been in regular contact regarding a potential resolution and 
upcoming deadlines.  The government has extended a written plea offer to the 
defense, which is under consideration.  The government has asked for a 
definitive response to that proposal by June 21, 2024.

4. In light of that deadline and to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of party and 
court resources, the defense respectfully moves this Court to extend the 
motions deadline by three weeks to June 28, 2024.  Undersigned counsel has 
discussed this request with government counsel, who agrees with it.   
Accordingly, the defense respectfully moves this Court to continue the motions 
deadline by three weeks to June 28, 2024.  A proposed order is attached.
