Defendant.

ORDER 
This case is before the Court on Defendant Daniel Eric Jay’s oral motion to 
continue the pretrial hearing in this case.  On January 7, 2021, the Court, at the 
request of Mr. Jay’s former counsel, reset the deadline for Mr. Jay to file pretrial 
motions to February 18, 2021 and the pretrial conference to February 19, 2021, via 
Zoom.  [Doc. 132.]  In the meantime, on February 12, 2021, the Court held a 
Faretta hearing and found that Mr. Jay knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently 
waived his right to counsel and allowed Mr. Jay to proceed pro se.  At the hearing, 
it was noted that Mr. Jay did not personally possess a copy of discovery and that 
the discovery set provided to Mr. Jay’s prior counsel potentially included

extraneous materials.  As a result, the government instructed Mr. Jay to provide it 
a two terabyte hard drive so it could produce discovery directly to him.  [Doc. 162.] 
On February 18, 2021, chambers staff emailed the parties the Zoom login 
information for the pretrial conference and also asked Mr. Jay to state whether he 
wanted a continuance for more time in which to review discovery and file pretrial 
motions.  Mr. Jay responded as follows: 
It is the will/wish of :Daniel: third party intervenor real 
party in interest being harmed, with intent not to waive 
rites/rights to the internationally protected person status 
[notice of status on record with the court] established 
with the United States of America, accepted and 
acknowledged on the Tenth day of September, anno 
Domini Two Thousand and Twenty, accepts the courts 
offer for continuance.1 
The Court interprets this response as an oral motion to continue the pretrial 
deadlines.  Upon consideration, Mr. Jay’s motion is GRANTED.  Mr. Jay shall 
have until April 13, 2021 to file any necessary pretrial motions. The pretrial 
conference in his case is hereby rescheduled to Wednesday, April 14, 2021, at 
9:30 a.m. via Zoom.  The Court will send meeting instructions to all parties via 
email and/or docket entry in CM/ECF prior to the pretrial conference.  Mr. Jay is 
1 Mr. Jay also attached three images to his email that appear to show tracking 
information for a package he sent to former President Donald J. Trump.  The 
Court attaches those images as Attachment A.

cautioned that any pretrial motions must be physically received in the Clerk’s 
office no later than April 13, 2021, and that if he does not file any pretrial 
motions by this deadline, his case may be certified ready for trial. 
The delay between the original and the rescheduled pretrial conference shall 
be excluded from Speedy Trial Act calculations because the Court finds that the 
reason for the delay was for good cause, as additional time is needed to review the 
discovery and to determine what potential pretrial motions to file.  The interests of 
justice in granting the continuance outweigh the public’s and the defendant’s rights 
to a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq.  The clerk is DIRECTED to exclude 
time from computation under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to Title 18, United 
States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(i). 
IT IS SO ORDERED this 18th day of February, 2021.
