IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA 
ATLANTA DIVISION 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v. 
DANIEL ERIC JAY 
Criminal Action No. 
1:20-CR-228-MHC-JKL 
 
DEFENDANT JAY’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE  
Defendant Daniel Eric Jay respectfully requests that this Court continue the 
August 27, 2020 pretrial conference for 60 days. Discovery is voluminous. And 
Mr. Jay’s appointed counsel needs more time to review the discovery before he 
can file pretrial motions. Government’s counsel does not object to a continuance.  
Although the Government produced 20,409 pages of discovery on August 11, 
2020, it has not yet produced all Rule 16 materials.1 Given the volume of 
discovery and the fact that he has not yet received all Rule 16 materials, Mr. Jay’s 
counsel asked the Government to consent to a 60-day continuance of the pretrial 
conference. He needs that time to finish going through the thousands of pages of 
discovery, to review discovery that has not yet been produced, and to assess 
whether it is appropriate to file pretrial motions. 
 
1 On August 11, 2020, the Government directed Mr. Jay to send a hard drive 
capable of storing 1 terabyte of data for the purpose of obtaining images of 
Fayne’s phones, Fayne’s computer, and other digital media. Mr. Jay’s appointed 
counsel ordered the hard drive and shipped it to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  
According to FedEx tracking, the U.S. Attorney’s Office received it on August 17, 
2020. Defense counsel anticipates receiving the drive soon. A preliminary review 
of the produced discovery appears to indicate that Mr. Jay has not yet received 
certain other materials necessary to determine whether a motion to suppress is 
appropriate, namely, the applications for search warrants relating to his email 
accounts. Additional time will permit defense counsel to confirm whether this 
information has been produced, and if not, to obtain it from the Government.

Counsel for the Government represented that it does not object to this request.
