UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS 
_______________________________________ 
 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
 
 
 
v. 
 
DAVID EBRAHIMZADEH 
 
 
Criminal No. 25-cr-10455-RGS 
 
JOINT INTERIM STATUS REPORT AND REQUEST TO CANCEL HEARING 
 
 
Pursuant to Local Rule 116.5(b), the parties hereby file the following status report prepared 
in connection with the interim status conference on this matter scheduled for June 30, 2026, request 
that the status conference be cancelled, and request that one last interim status conference be 
scheduled in approximately 45 days and that the time be excluded until that date. 
(1)        Automatic Discovery/Pending Discovery Requests 
 
Per the agreement of the parties and the alternative discovery schedule adopted by this 
Court (Dkt. No. 27), on January 21, 2026, the Government provided a first production of 
automatic discovery, consisting of the bulk of automatic discovery materials currently 
available, including over 2.1 million bates labeled pages and/or electronic files within an 
electronic database and over 14,000 bates labeled pages or files outside of the database.  
The government provided a supplemental production of 2,860 bates labeled pages or files 
(including a collection of key documents that had already been produced but were grouped 
for counsel’s convenience) on June 22, 2026. 
 
(2)        Additional Discovery 
 
The government recently learned of a TIII order and related materials in a different case 
that resulted in the recording of a small number of calls involving the defendant.  The 
government has produced the calls, and will provide the TIII materials, which were just 
unsealed and the government just received a copy of today, to the defense on Monday, 
June 29, after the assigned AUSA returns from scheduled time away.  Otherwise, the 
government believes that automatic discovery is complete, although it is aware of its duty 
to supplement and will promptly supplement its production if it identifies additional 
discoverable materials.

(3)        Timing of Additional Discovery Requests  
 
The defendant needs time to review the discovery that has been produced, including the 
most recent supplemental production.  He will make any additional discovery requests prior 
to the next status conference.   
 
(4)        Protective Orders 
 
The Court endorsed a discovery protective order, Dkt. No. 32.   
 
(5)        Pretrial Motions 
 
It is premature for the defendant to decide whether to file any motions under Fed. R. 
Crim. P. 12(b).  The defendant will report whether he intends to file any such motions at 
the next status conference. 
 
(6)        Expert Discovery 
 
As the parties previously reported, the government will provide any expert witness 
disclosures 21 days prior to trial, and the defendant will provide any expert witness 
disclosure 14 days prior to trial. 
 
(7)        Defenses of Insanity, Public Authority, or Alibi 
 
The Defendant has not yet determined if he intends to raise the defenses of insanity, public 
authority, or alibi.   
 
(8)        Speedy Trial Act 
 
All of the time has been excluded from the date of defendant’s arraignment on December 
12, 2025, through the date of the interim status conference scheduled for June 30, 
2026.  See Dkt. Nos. 10, 23, 34, 43.1 The parties request that the time be excluded until the 
next status conference. The parties agree that this period constitutes “the reasonable time 
necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence,” and 
that the ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best 
interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 
18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).   
 
(9) 
Plea Discussions 
 
The parties have not yet engaged in any post-charging plea discussions.  The parties 
anticipate a trial would last approximately two weeks. 
 
1 The parties believe that the Court stated on the record at the April 28 hearing that the time until the June 30 hearing 
would be excluded; however, no written order entered.  The parties therefore request that the Court enter a written 
order excluding the time from April 28, 2026 through the date of the final status conference.

(10)        Next Status Conference 
 
Given all of the foregoing information, the parties request that the interim status 
conference, scheduled for June 30, 2026, be canceled.  The parties request that one last 
interim status conference be scheduled in approximately 45 days. 
 
Respectfully submitted,
