Defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Continue Pretrial Conference — No. 1:21-cr-00199 (Dkt. 96, N.D. Ga.)

Summary

A defendant's unopposed motion to continue the pretrial conference, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, in United States v. Paul Kwak, Case No. 1:21-CR-199-01, docketed as 1:21-cr-00199, as Document 96 of 3 pages. Kwak, through newly retained counsel Paul S. Kish of Kish Law LLC, asks for a 30-day continuance because counsel, retained in early December 2022, is still reviewing the voluminous discovery, and states that the Government does not oppose. The motion says Kwak was arrested and indicted in 2021 on an indictment alleging a complex scheme to defraud the Payroll Protection Plan, with discovery involving dozens of bank accounts, seized electronic devices and online accounts, and that his previous attorney, Page Pate, died in a tragic accident months earlier. It is signed in January 2023.

  DEFENDANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

     COMES NOW Defendant PAUL KWAK, by and through undersigned

counsel and hereby files this Unopposed Motion to Continue the

Pretrial Conference.     As set forth below, recently retained new

counsel is still reviewing the voluminous discovery materials in

this matter.    Defendant therefore asks for a 30-day continuance of

the Pretrial Conference.      Defendant is authorized to represent

that the Government does not oppose this request.

     Defendant was arrested and indicted in 2021.         The indictment

alleges a complex scheme in which the Payroll Protection Plan was

supposedly defrauded. The discovery is excessively voluminous,

involving dozens of bank accounts, seized electronic devices and

online accounts.

     Defendant was previously represented by Attorney Page Pate.

As the Court knows, Mr. Pate died in a tragic accident several

months   ago.   Defendant   retained   undersigned   counsel    in   early

December 2022.    Undersigned is still reviewing the highly complex

discovery materials provided by the Government.
