DOROTHY JEAN MOORE,


                           Defendant.



                  THIRD AMENDED ORDER SETTING TRIALS


      On June 17, 2025 this Court issued a second amended order scheduling trial for

the remaining defendants it this “Feeding Our Future” financial fraud scheme. The Court

is reviewing these cases monthly to keep the cases moving and on track for trial. Due to

the number of cases and defendants left to try, other criminal trials scheduled before the

Court, cases and defendants that no longer require a trial and anticipated length of the

remaining trials, this Order resets date-certain trials, with the amended trial dates stated

below.

         The Court HEREBY ORDERS the following trial schedule. The parties and

attorneys involved in each case are to be prepared and available for trial on these dates.

1. United States v. Aimee Bock, et al. (22-cr-223): February 3, 2025 through TBD. Based
   on the size of the courtroom and other logistical considerations, the Court cannot try
   all 12 defendants in this case together. The Court grouped the defendants as follows:

         a. February 3 – March 14, 2025 Amy Marie Bock (1) and Salim Ahmed Said (3)1;
            and
         b. Date to be Determined - Abdirahman Mohamud Ahmed (14) 2.

         The dates listed above are date certain; however, if a prior trial runs long, then the

    start date could be moved slightly. While the Court intends to take a break between

    each block of defendants in this this case, the Court will be trying other criminal cases

    in-between. To keep the trial moving, the Court generally will hold trial on Fridays,

    but will assess this plan during trial. The Court will issue an amended trial notices to

    adjust the Defendants now scheduled in each trial block if needed.

2. United States v. Ahmed Yasin Ali and Khadar Jigre Adan (22-cr-222): September
   18, 2025 through October 10, 20253. The Court has recently issued an amended trial
   notice with amended trial document deadlines.

3. United States v. Qamar Ahmed Hassan, et al. (22-cr-224): October 14, 2025 through
   October 31, 2025.



1
  This trial was completed on March 19, 2025.
2
  Defendant Abdirahman Mohamud Ahmed (14) was recently appointed new counsel. Defendant Ahmed has been
severed from the August 18th trial. A status conference is scheduled for October 23, 2025 to schedule a date certain
trial date for Defendant Ahmed.
3
  USA v Ali and Adan was scheduled to start September 15, 2025 but has been moved to begin September 18, 2025.

                                                         3

4. United States v. Ikram Yusuf Mohamed, et al. (24-cr-15): April 20, 2026 through
   May 22, 2026.

5. United States v. Dorothy Jean Moor (25-226): To be determined after pretrial
   motions have been completed.

       The above-referenced cases are all related as part of a larger “Feeding our Future”

alleged financial fraud scheme, under which the government have charged 72 defendants

to date. Early on, these cases were designated as complex for purposes of the Speedy Trial

Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 316(h)(7)(B)(ii), based on the large volume of discovery, the

nature of the evidence collected, and the sheer number of defendants. In some cases, the

Court has granted multiple requests from the parties to continue motion hearings,

continue trials, or for additional briefing.

    Based on the complexity of the cases, the nature of the cases as related, the timing of

when the cases are official trial read, to give adequate time for counsel to prepare and to

ensure continuity of counsel, especially those that represent multiple defendants, the

Court finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of these continuances outweigh

the best interest of the public and the Defendants in a speedy trial. The Court thus

continues to exclude the speedy trial time from the date of this order, until each trial date

listed above by the Court pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)4.


    Dated: August 1, 2025                                     BY THE COURT:
