Re: United States v. Christopher Washington, 23-cr-160 (NEB/JFD) and United States v. Ahmed
Ghedi, 22-cr-223 (NEB/DTS)

Dear Judge Brasel:

I represent Christopher Washington in connection with District Court File No. 23-cr-160
(NEB/JFD). I also represent Ahmed Ghedi in File No. 22-cr-223 (NEB/DTS). I recently received
your December 11, 2024 Order scheduling Christopher Washington, together with eight co-
defendants, for trial beginning on June 9, 2025. This is a bit problematic for me as your
November 7, 2024 Amended Trial Notice scheduled my other client, Mr. Ghedi, to begin trial
before you along with two other co-defendants on that same date. Obviously, the two trials
cannot take place simultaneously and, as a practical matter, | can realistically only prepare for
one trial on June 9. I will appreciate receiving some guidance from the Court about your plans
with respect to these two cases.

Very truly yours,

Glenn P. Bruder
