UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : 3:22-cr-00033-OAW
vs.
JOHN BERNARDO : APRIL 20, 2022

MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE TO JUNE 23, 2022

Defendant JOHN BERNARDO is charged in a criminal complaint with Wire Fraud
under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1343. Defendant was released on an Appearance Bond in the amount of
$250,000.00 subject to various conditions of release. The Court set jury selection to commence
April 21, 2022 before the Honorable Omar A. Williams. Since last appearing in Court, Mr.
Bernardo has been compliant with the conditions of his bond and conditions of release. The
parties agree that a continuance of jury selection and trial to June 23, 2022 is warranted as the
government and defense counsel continue to engage in discussions to resolve Mr. Bernardo’s
criminal liability. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ray Miller has no objection to the granting of this
motion. The defendant has executed a Speedy Trial Waiver and filed it contemporaneously with
this motion.

WHEREFORE, the Defendant, JOHN BERNARDO, through his undersigned counsel,
respectfully request that his motion to continue the trial be granted to a date on or after June 23,

2022.
