| 18 | 18 ORDER as to Joel Huntsman re15 MOTION for Bond Release Pursuant to Conditions filed by Joel Huntsman. The defendant has filed a notice on the docket that he is withdrawing his request for release at this time and is consenting to the Order of Detention that was previously issued, without prejudice to reconsideration should he file a renewed motion for release. Given the timing of the filing of the notice withdrawing the motion for release, the Court conducted the bond hearing today, reviewed the contents of the pretrial services report prepared in anticipation of the bond hearing and, at defense counsel's request, agreed to deny the motion for release without prejudice to re-filing at a later date. If the defendant would like the Court to hold another bond hearing, his counsel should file a motion on the docket, and the Court will schedule another hearing without delay. Signed by Judge Robert M. Spector on 01/30/2023. (Spector, Robert) [3:23-mj-00041-RMS] | |

| 20 | 20 ORDER granting19 Motion to Continue as to Joel Huntsman (1). The defendant's Motion to Continue Probable Cause Hearing is hereby GRANTED. The motion seeks a continuance of the deadlines set forth in both 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), requiring that an indictment or information be filed within 30 days of a defendant's arrest, and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, requiring that a preliminary hearing be held within 14 days of the initial appearance of a defendant who is detained pending trial. Counsel for the defendant represents that additional time is needed to meet, confer with the defendant, review discovery that will be provided by the government and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution to this case. The defendant has filed a written waiver of his right to a hearing through and including May 9, 2023. The Court concludes that a continuance of these deadlines is in the best interest of the defendant; that he knows his rights under the relevant rules and statutes; that the interest of the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the parties' interest in a continuance in this matter; and that a continuance of both deadlines is in the interest of justice. The preliminary hearing previously scheduled in this matter for February 8, 2023, is hereby continued to May 9, 2023 at 9:30AM, and the time from February 6, 2023, through and including May 9, 2023, is hereby excluded from the calculation of the deadlines set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

The motion seeks a continuance of the deadlines set forth in both 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), requiring that an indictment or information be filed within 30 days of a defendant's arrest, and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, requiring that a preliminary hearing be held within 14 days of the initial appearance of a defendant who is detained pending trial. Counsel for the defendant represents that additional time is needed to meet, confer with the defendant, review discovery that was recently provided by the government and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution to this case. The defendant has filed a written waiver of his right to a hearing through and including August 7, 2023. The Court concludes that a continuance of these deadlines is in the best interest of the defendant; that he knows his rights under the relevant rules and statutes; that the interest of the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the parties' interest in a continuance in this matter; and that a continuance of both deadlines is in the interest of justice. The preliminary hearing previously scheduled in this matter for May 9, 2023, is hereby continued to August 2, 2023 at 9:30AM, as the Court is not available on August 7, 2023, and the time from May 9, 2023, through and including August 2, 2023, is hereby excluded from the calculation of the deadlines set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Counsel for the defendant represents that additional time is needed to meet, confer with the defendant, and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution to this case. The defendant and the government are in active and ongoing discussions about a resolution, and the defendant would like to continue to pursue those discussions. The defendant has filed a written waiver of his right to a hearing through and including November 2, 2023. The Court concludes that a continuance of these deadlines is in the best interest of the defendant; that he knows his rights under the relevant rules and statutes; that the interest of the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the parties' interest in a continuance in this matter; and that a continuance of both deadlines is in the interest of justice.

Given that this case commenced in January 2023, the Court is unlikely to grant any additional continuances of the probable cause hearing absent extraordinary circumstances. Signed by Judge Robert M.

| 31 | 31 ORDER granting30 Sealed Motion as to Joel Huntsman (1). The defendant's Motion to Continue Probable Cause Hearing is hereby GRANTED. The motion seeks a continuance of the deadlines set forth in both 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), requiring that an indictment or information be filed within 30 days of a defendant's arrest, and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, requiring that a preliminary hearing be held within 14 days of the initial appearance of a defendant who is detained pending trial. Counsel for the defendant represents that additional time is needed to meet, confer with the defendant, and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution to this case. The defendant and the government are in active and ongoing discussions about a resolution, and the defendant would like to continue to pursue those discussions. In addition, the motion sets out an extraordinary circumstance justifying the continuance that is separate from the justification provided in prior continuance motions. The defendant has filed a written waiver of his right to a hearing through and including January 31, 2024. The Court concludes that a continuance of these deadlines is in the best interest of the defendant; that he knows his rights under the relevant rules and statutes; that the interest of the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the parties' interest in a continuance in this matter; and that a continuance of both deadlines is in the interest of justice. The preliminary hearing previously scheduled in this matter for November 1, 2023, is hereby continued to January 30, 2024 at 9:30AM, and the time from November 1, 2023, through and including January 30, 2024, is hereby excluded from the calculation of the deadlines set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Given that this case commenced in January 2023, the Court is unlikely to grant any additional continuances of the probable cause hearing absent extraordinary circumstances beyond those already discussed in the present continuance motion.

| 32 | 32 ORDER granting29 Motion to Seal as to Joel Huntsman (1). For the compelling reasons articulated in the motion to seal (Doc. No.29 ), and in light of the content of the motion to continue (Doc. No.30 ), the Clerk of the Court is directed to maintain Document No. 30 under seal until further order of the Court. This sealing order is narrowly tailored in that the Court has not sealed any other continuance request and the Order granting the continuance was not placed under seal. Signed by Judge Robert M. Spector on 10/27/2023. (Spector, Robert) [3:23-mj-00041-RMS] | |

| 37 | 37 ORDER granting in part and denying in part35 Sealed Motion as to Joel Huntsman (1). The defendant's Motion to Continue Probable Cause Hearing for sixty days is hereby GRANTED in part. The motion seeks a continuance of the deadlines set forth in both 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), requiring that an indictment or information be filed within 30 days of a defendant's arrest, and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, requiring that a preliminary hearing be held within 14 days of the initial appearance of a defendant who is detained pending trial. Counsel for the defendant represents that additional time is needed to meet, confer with the defendant, and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution to this case. The defendant and the government are in active and ongoing discussions about a resolution, and the defendant would like to continue to pursue those discussions, as indicated in prior orders. In addition, the motion sets out an extraordinary circumstance justifying the continuance that is separate from the justification provided in prior continuance motions. The defendant has filed a written waiver of his right to a hearing through and including March 1, 2024. The Court concludes that a continuance of these deadlines is in the best interest of the defendant; that he knows his rights under the relevant rules and statutes; that the interest of the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the parties' interest in a continuance in this matter; and that a continuance of both deadlines is in the interest of justice. The preliminary hearing previously scheduled in this matter for January 30, 2024, is hereby continued to March 1, 2024 at 9:30AM, and the time from January 30, 2024, through and including March 1, 2024, is hereby excluded from the calculation of the deadlines set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and Rule 5.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. As the Court has previously stated, given that this case commenced in January 2023, the Court is unlikely to grant any additional continuances of the probable cause hearing absent extraordinary circumstances beyond those already discussed in the present continuance motion.
