Summary

An order in United States v. Tamika R. Cross and Ronnie E. Cross, 8:21CR253, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, filed September 30, 2021 as Doc # 20 (2 pages) and signed by Magistrate Judge Susan M. Bazis. On the government's request at the September 30, 2021 initial appearance, to which the defendant agreed, the Court declares the case complex under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii) because of the nature of the prosecution, novel questions of fact and law, and the amount of discovery. The government must provide Rule 16 discovery by October 29, 2021, a telephone status conference is set for 11/30/2021 at 10:00 a.m., and the time through November 30, 2021 is excludable.

                        IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                            FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                       Plaintiffs,                                    8:21CR253

        vs.
                                                                        ORDER
TAMIKA R. CROSS and RONNIE E. CROSS,

                       Defendant.


       This matter is before the court on the request of the government made at the Initial
Appearance on September 30, 2021 to declare this case as complex and to adjust the discovery and
pretrial motions deadline. The defendant agreed to the request. The court finds from the
representations by counsel for the parties that this case is so unusual and so complex due to the
nature of the prosecution, the existence of novel questions of fact and law, and the amount of
discovery, it would be unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings or for
the trial within the time limits established by the Speedy Trial Act. See 18 U.S.C. §
3161(h)(7)(B)(ii).
       IT IS ORDERED:
       1. The government shall provide Rule 16 discovery no later than October 29, 2021. A
Status Conference is set for 11/30/2021 at 10:00 a.m. by telephone before Magistrate Judge Susan
M. Bazis to set further progression deadlines. Counsel will follow the call-in instructions sent to
them by e-mail.
       2. The ends of justice have been served by granting such request and outweigh the interests
of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. The additional time arising as a result of the
granting of the motion, i.e., from today’s date through November 30, 2021, shall be deemed
excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act for the
reason counsel require additional time to adequately prepare the case, taking into consideration
due diligence of counsel, and the novelty and complexity of this case. The failure to grant
additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B).

       Dated this 30th day of September, 2021.
