Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 755 Filed 08/10/22 Page 259 of 262 1970 LC8VMAX8 1 Does the government have a preference? 2 MS. MOE: No, your Honor. The government defers to 3 the Court on the timing. 4 THE COURT: I think from my perspective, I would like 5 to use the jury's time on Friday, if we could. But if we 6 can't, then I suspect they won't mind the extra time off. 7 I'll let you know tomorrow if I can get you the charge 8 in time to do a charging conference on Friday. But I hear you 9 that, all things being equal, more time with the charge when 10 you're not trying the case is helpful, I presume, for both 11 sides. 12 MR. EVERDELL: Yes. 13 THE COURT: I do sometimes push for speed, you may 14 have heard. But given where we are in the schedule, I think 15 taking time to be careful and getting your full input, 16 considered input, is appropriate. Okay. 17 MR. EVERDELL: Thank you, your Honor. 18 MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you. 19 THE COURT: Am I going to get briefing on 52? Because 20 if so, I want to schedule for it. 21 MR. ROHRBACH: The parties haven't conferred, your 22 Honor; but I suspect there will be briefing tonight. The 23 government will file its brief by 8 p.m. or we can confer 24 immediately after this, right now, your Honor, and get a 25 timeline. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300
