UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO 
FILE PRETRIAL MOTIONS BRIEF IN SUPPORT THEREOF 
 
 
COMES NOW Defendant, DARRELL THOMAS, by and through his 
undersigned counsel, and pursuant to LCrR 12.1B. NDGa, respectfully moves this Court 
for additional time within which to file pretrial motions in this case. In support of this 
Motion, Defendant shows as follows: 
1. 
 
The government has advised undersigned counsel that it will be producing 
additional discovery in the coming weeks.   Given that undersigned counsel have not yet 
received and begun their review of this additional discovery in this case, and given 
undersigned counsel’s other case commitments, Defendant respectfully requests that he 
have an additional sixty (60) days within which to review this discovery and to file 
pretrial motions in this case, to and including, February 21, 2021.

2. 
 
The government has advised undersigned counsel that it does not oppose the 
granting of this Motion.   
3. 
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B), the period of delay caused by the 
granting of this motion is excluded in the computation of the time within which the trial 
in the instant case must commence. That is, this period of delay is a result of the request 
of Defendant’s counsel and the ends of justice served by the granting of this motion 
outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial in that the failure 
to grant such continuances would result in a miscarriage of justice; would deny 
Defendant’s counsel time for adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and would 
deny Defendant the “reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into 
account the exercise of due diligence.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)and(B).   
4. 
 
Undersigned counsel state herein that Defendant has expressly authorized the filing 
of this motion for an extension of time within which to file pretrial motions and to 
continue the pretrial conference and waives any speedy trial time restraints. 
 
WHEREFORE, for all of the foregoing reasons, Defendant respectfully prays that 
this Court grant him additional time within which to file his pretrial motions, to and 
including February 21, 2021.
