Source document (2024-06-01) — United States v. Carolyn Denise Wade

What This Document Is

A two-page waiver of speedy trial filed November 30, 2023 by defense counsel Brian Silber on behalf of Carolyn Wade — then the sole defendant — waiving her speedy-trial right under 18 U.S.C. §3161 from the filing date until June 1, 2024. The prior summary carried a placeholder title dated from the waiver's end date rather than the filing.

Factual Summary

The waiver is one substantive sentence: Carolyn Wade, through counsel and pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161, waives her right to a speedy trial from the date of filing until June 1, 2024. A certificate of service dated November 30, 2023 accompanies it. The filing sits in the case's first defense-continuance sequence: the agreed motion to continue (docket 15) and an earlier waiver (docket 16) date from the same Silber-era stretch, when the December 18, 2023 trial setting (docket 12) was being moved. The waiver's end date framed the window in which Carolyn Wade's first trial actually began — jury selection opened May 13, 2024, about two and a half weeks before the waiver expired, and the trial ended in a mistrial on May 21, 2024.

Key Facts

Filed November 30, 2023, by Brian Silber for Carolyn Wade alone; Tracy Wade was not yet a defendant.
Waives speedy trial from November 30, 2023 through June 1, 2024.
The first trial ran May 13-21, 2024 — inside the waived period.
One of a series of early defense waivers/continuances (dockets 15-18, 20) that moved the original December 2023 trial date.

Source Caveats

The waiver states no reason; the strategic context (third-party subpoena work) appears in the companion continuance motion, not here.
Signature lines read "/s/" over "Defense Attorney Name" with Brian Silber's name typed above — a template artifact of the filing.
