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 MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE  
Defendant Daniel Eric Jay respectfully requests that the Court continue the 
December 1, 2020 pretrial conference and extend the deadline for filing motions.   
Brief Procedural History 
 
On July 9, 2020, Mr. Jay was charged by criminal complaint. Doc. 1. On 
July 28, 2020, a grand jury in the Northern District of Georgia returned an 
indictment (the First Superseding Indictment) charging him with one count of 
bank fraud. Doc. 41 at 5-6. 
 
On August 21, 2020, Mr. Jay moved for a continuance noting (a) the 
volume of discovery (well over 20,000 pages), (b) that certain Rule 16 materials 
(that required loading onto a one terabyte hard drive) had not yet been 
produced, and (c) the need for additional time to determine what motions Mr. 
Jay needed to file, if any. Doc. 67. The Court granted that unopposed motion and 
set the pretrial conference for October 27, 2020. Doc. 68.

On October 23, 2020, the Government moved to continue the pretrial 
conference noting that it intended to bring additional criminal charges against 
Mr. Jay and to charge an additional defendant. Doc. 93. The Court granted that 
unopposed motion and set the pretrial conference for December 1, 2020. Doc. 94.  
 
On November 19, 2020, the grand jury returned a Second Superseding 
Indictment in this case, which charged Mr. Fayne and Mr. Jay and added two 
new defendants, Michael and Mark T. Sargent. Doc. 96. That indictment charged 
Mr. Jay with new crimes (wire fraud conspiracy and wire fraud) involving 
conduct wholly unrelated to the bank fraud charged in the First Superseding 
Indictment. Id. at 1-9. 
 
Mr. Jay’s arraignment is set for December 17, 2020. Doc. 100.  
Request for Continuance 
 
Given the new criminal charges filed against Mr. Jay on November 19, 
2020, he will be entitled to another pretrial conference and a new deadline to file 
motions. To avoid the inefficiency of scheduling two pretrial conferences and 
having two motions deadlines, Mr. Jay respectfully requests that the Court 
continue the December 1, 2020 pretrial conference and extend the motions 
deadline.  
 
Given the upcoming holidays, the upcoming December 17, 2020 
arraignment of Mr. Jay on the new charges, the likelihood that the Government 
Case 1:20-cr-00228-MHC-JKL     Document 109     Filed 11/28/20     Page 2 of 4

will produce new Rule 16 materials relating to the new defendants, and the fact 
that a pretrial conference has not yet been scheduled relating to the new 
indictment, Mr. Jay respectfully requests a continuance of the motions deadline 
and the pretrial conference until the week of January 11, 2020.  
This 28th day of November, 2020.
