UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CRIMINAL NO. 2:24-CR-00192 KISHA SUTTON, ET AL. GOVERNMENT’S TO CONTINUE TRIAL AND CASE RELATED DEADLINES Comes now the United States of America, by Jonathan T. Storage, Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, and respectfully moves for an order continuing the trial and case related deadlines in this case for a period of 60 days. In support of its motion, the government states the following: 1. On March 13, 2025, defendant Kisha Sutton, by counsel, filed a motion to continue the trial date and all pre-trial deadlines. ECF No. 130. As of this writing, that motion is still pending before the Court. 2. Today, March 31, 2025, Paul E. Stroebel, counsel for defendant Shamiese Wright, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. ECF No. 156. 3. On April 14, 2025, trial is scheduled to begin as to defendants Kisha Sutton and Shamiese Wright. See ECF Nos. 99 & 116. Case 2:24-cr-00192 Document 157 Filed 03/31/25 Page 1 of 3 PageID #: 677 2 4. Based on the defendants’ separate filings, the government submits that neither defendant will be prepared to go to trial on April 14, 2025, and a continuance is warranted. 5. The government further submits that a 60-day continuance is appropriate under the circumstances, as such a timeframe will permit the Court to address Mr. Stroebel’s motion and permit counsel for Kisha Sutton to complete his review of the discovery. 6. The government further submits that plea discussions have begun with respect to each defendant, and a 60-day continuance will permit those discussions to fully develop. For the reasons stated herein, the government respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion and continue the trial date and all case deadlines for a period of approximately 60 days.
