Re: United States v. Russell Dwayne Lewis — Memo Endorsed (1:23-cr-00032, Dkt. 18)
Summary
In a letter dated May 25, 2023 to Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the Southern District of New York, the U.S. Attorney's Office asked, for both parties, to adjourn the status conference in United States v. Russell Dwayne Lewis, 23 Cr. 032 (LTS), then set for June 1, 2023, to Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 3:00 p.m., to allow more time to discuss a pre-trial resolution. The letter states that the parties expect the rescheduled appearance to be a guilty plea proceeding. Chief Judge Swain's endorsement, dated May 26, 2023, grants the request, reschedules the conference as a change of plea hearing for June 13, 2023, and excludes time from speedy trial computations through that date under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The letter is signed by Assistant United States Attorney Alex Rossmiller.

Accordingly, the Government and defense counsel respectfully request that the next appearance be rescheduled for Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 3:00 p.m., which we understand may be available in the Court’s schedule, or for a time convenient for the Court at a date thereafter.

The foregoing request for adjournment is granted. The Respectfully submitted, conference is hereby rescheduled as a change of plea hearing for June 13, 2023, at 3:00 pm. The Court finds D WILLIAMS pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) that the ends of justice served by an exclusion of time from speedy trial computations from today's date through June 13, 2023, outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial to allow the parties to continue to discuss the possibility of a pretrial resolution.
