Comes now Maurice Fayne, by and through his counsel of record, and
hereby files this motion for extension of time to file pretrial motions and to hold
the pretrial conference and respectfully show as follows:
1. Mr. Fayne was initially charged via complaint on May 12, 2020. Doc. 1.
2. An indictment was filed on June 24, 2020. Doc. 17. A first superseding
indictment was filed July 28, 2020. Doc. 41. A second superseding
indictment was filed on November 19, 2020. Doc. 96.
3. Present counsel was appointed to represent Mr. Fayne on January 12, 2021.
Doc. 137.
4. Counsel received the initial discovery on Tuesday, February 2, 2021.

but that was removed from Mr. Fayne’s initial discovery because it may
contain privileged information. Counsel requested these removed materials

when she learned that some of Mr. Fayne’s attorney/client privileged
information may have been seized in this case.
5. Pretrial motions are currently due on April 12, 2021. The pretrial
conference is scheduled for April 13, 2021.
6. Counsel anticipates needing additional time to review the discovery and to
determine what, if any, pretrial motions should be filed in this case. For that
reason, counsel is requesting a continuance of the pretrial motions deadline
and the pretrial conference in this case.
7. Counsel asserts that the additional time will also give the parties time to
determine if a resolution can be had in the case that may alleviate the need
for pretrial motions.
8. Counsel has a previously requested leave from April 5-9, 2021. Doc. 172.
9. For these reasons, counsel is requesting an additional 30-days to file pretrial
motions and to hold the pre-trial conferences. Counsel discussed this
request with Assistant United States Attorney Russell Phillips, counsel for
the government in this case, who has no objection.

10. Counsel requests that the time of the extension to file motions and complete
the pretrial conference be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7).
Respectfully submitted this 3rd day of April 2021.
