UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
United States of America, Case No. 22-cr-223 (NEB/TNL)
Plaintiff,
v. ORDER
Salim Ahmed Said (3),
Abdi Nur Salah (6),
Ahmed Mohamed Artan (8),
Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud (9), and
Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi (13),
Defendants.
In the Second Amended Arraignment Notice & Case Management Order, the
Court set a deadline of December 15, 2023, to file pretrial motions or a letter stating that
no motions would be filed. ECF No. 170 at 4. Before the Court are four timely motions
for extensions of that deadline by Defendants Salim Ahmed Said, Abdi Nur Salah,
Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud, and Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi. See generally ECF Nos.
181, 176, 184, 182. Defendant Ahmed Mohamed Artan has neither filed pretrial motions
nor a letter.
This matter was previously designated complex under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii). See generally ECF No. 95. Salim Ahmed Said seeks a one-week
extension due to needing additional time to consult with counsel. Salim Ahmed Said met
and conferred with the Government regarding his request, and the Government has no
objection. Abdi Nur Salah seeks a two-week extension due to defense counsel

CASE 0:22-cr-00223-NEB-DTS Doc. 199 Filed 12/19/23 Page 2 of 5
experiencing a personal matter that has now resolved. Abdi Nur Salah also met and
conferred with the Government and the Government has no objection. Abdikadir
Ainanshe Mohamud seeks a one-week extension due to defense counsel experiencing a
personal matter and was not able to obtain the Government’s position before filing.
Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi seeks a one-week extension based on technical difficulties
accessing the discovery and was not able to obtain the Government’s position before
filing. By e-mail correspondence, the Government has indicated that it takes no position
on Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud and Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi’s requests. No other
modifications of the existing deadlines have been requested.
Bearing in mind the complexity of this case, the voluminous discovery, the
absence of any objection to the requested continuance, and the existence of good cause
shown, the Court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h) that the ends of justice served by
granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendants in a
speedy trial and such continuances are necessary to provide Salim Ahmed Said, Abdi Nur
Salah, Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud, Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi, and their counsel
reasonable time necessary for effective preparation.
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. As to Ahmed Mohamed Artan, counsel must electronically file a letter on
or before December 22, 2023, if no motions will be filed and there is no need for
hearing.

notice of intent to introduce certain types of evidence, preservation of rough notes, and
disclosure of evidence favorable to a defendant under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83
(1963), and related authorities.” ECF No. 111 at 3. “These motions often seek relief that
is already required by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Rules of
Evidence, and federal law.” ECF No. 111 at 3. “To promote the efficient management of
these related cases, the Court issue[d the Order on Pretrial Disclosure & Preservation] to
preemptively address such matters without the need for each defendant to file multiple
