2016-05-25 208 0 PROTECTIVE ORDER as to (S1-15-Cr-537-) Rashaad Conyers, Ramel Matthews, Wendell Belle, William Bracey, Anthony Scott, Haswani Tyson, Paul Gilbert, Kareem Lanier, Terrance Williams, Jason Moye, Michael Brown, Briant Lamont Maynor, Andy Seda, Davoun Matthews, Joseph Anderson, Davaughn Brooks, John Hughes, Joseph Jeffries, Donovan Reynolds, Kyle Hines, Chanel Leon, Christopher Morales. Upon the application of the United States of America, with the consent of all the defendants through their respective counsel, and the defendants having requested discovery under Fed. R. Crim. P. 16, the Court hereby finds and orders as follows: 1. Disclosure Material. The Government has made and will make disclosure to the defendants of documents, objects and information, including electronically stored information ("ESI"), pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16, 18 U.S.C. § 3500, and the Government's general obligation to produce exculpatory and impeachment material in criminal cases, all of which will be referred to herein as "disclosure material." The Government believes that its disclosure may include material that (i) affects the privacy, confidentiality and business interests of individuals and entities not named as parties in this case; (ii) would impede, if prematurely disclosed, the Government's ongoing investigation of uncharged individuals; (iii) would risk prejudicial pretrial publicity if publicly disseminated; and (iv) that is not authorized to be disclosed to the public or disclosed beyond that which is necessary for the defense of this criminal case. 2. Sensitive Disclosure Material. Certain of the Government's disclosure material, referred to herein as "sensitive disclosure material," contains information that identifies, or could lead to the identification of, witnesses who may be subject to intimidation or obstruction, and whose lives, persons, and property, as well as the lives, persons, and property of loved ones, will be subject to risk of harm absent the protective considerations set forth herein. The Government's designation of material as sensitive disclosure material will be controlling absent contrary order of the Court. 3. Good Cause. There is good cause for entry of the protective order set forth herein. Accordingly it is hereby Ordered: 4. Disclosure material shall not be disclosed by the defendants or each of his defense counsel, including any successor counsel ("the defense") other than as set forth herein, and shall be used by the defense solely for purposes of defending this action. The defense shall not post any disclosure material on any Internet site or network site to which persons other than the parties hereto have access, and shall not disclose any disclosure material to the media or any third party except as set forth below....[See this Protective Order]... Retention of Jurisdiction: 13. The provisions of this order shall not terminate at the conclusion of this prosecution and the Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce this Order following termination of the case.

Caproni from AUSA Samson Enzer dated June 18, 2016 re: The Government writes to address several administrative matters relating to the status conferences scheduled for June 30, 2016 before Your Honor in this case. First, the Government respectfully requests, with the consent of defendant Bryan Maynor through his counsel, that defendant Maynor be added to the third group of defendants scheduled to appear before Your Honor at 3:30PM on June 30, 2016. Second, the Government respectfully requests, with the consent of defendant Kyle Hines through his counsel, that defendant Hines be moved to the second group of defendants scheduled to appear before Your Honor at 12:00PM. In an abundance of caution, the Government also respectfully requests that time be excluded as to all the defendants in this case under the Speedy Trial Act until June 30, 2016, in the interests of justice, in light of the complexity of this multi-defendant racketeering case. ENDORSEMENT: Application GRANTED. Defendant Maynor shall appear before the Court with the third group of Defendants on June 30, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. Defendant Hines shall appear before the Court with the second group of Defendants on June 30, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. Because the Court finds that the ends of justice served by the granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the Defendants in a speedy trial, time shall be excluded as to all Defendants until June 30, 2016 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii).

WHEREAS the parties appeared for a status conference on June 30, 2016; WHEREAS the Government has stated that it intends to seek a superseding indictment; and WHEREAS the Coordinating Discovery Attorney has explained that there have been some delays in Defendants' receipt of discovery due to technical difficulties in preparing the discovery; IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 1. The Government and the Coordinating Discovery Attorney must meet and confer in person to discuss any outstanding technical issues in producing discovery with the goal of minimizing delays in Defendants' receipt of the discovery. 2. No later than July 29, 2016, the Government must provide statements made by all Defendants' to Defense counsel for Defense counsel's eyes only so that Defense counsel can be prepared to raise any Bruton issues at the appropriate time. 3. If the Government seeks another superseding indictment, that superseding indictment ("S-5") must be returned and unsealed no later than September 1, 2016. No additional superseding indictments will be permitted after September 1, 2016. 4. No later than September 9, 2016, Defendants' must file pretrial motions. The pretrial motions due on September 9, 2016 include motions to suppress, motions to dismiss, and any Daubert motions, but not motions in limine nor any motions pertaining to charges first contained in the anticipated S-5 indictment or evidence first revealed in connection with such newly filed charges (collectively "S-5 Issues"). The Court will set a separate briefing schedule for motions in limine and for pretrial motions pertaining to S-5 Issues. No later than September 30, 2016, the Government must file its opposition to Defendants' pretrial motions, and no later than October 14, 2016, Defendants' must file their replies. 5. If there is a need for an evidentiary hearing to address Defendants' pretrial motions, that hearing will begin on November 14, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 318 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007. 6. The first trial in this matter will commence on January 17, 2017. The second trial in this matter will commence on May 1, 2017. The first group of Defendants to be tried will not include Defendants as to whom S-5 includes new charges. The Government has estimated each trial will last approximately two months. At this time and until the Court determines the group of Defendants for each trial, Defense counsel must maintain their availability for these trial dates, and if Defense counsel who are currently unavailable on these dates become available, they must then maintain their availability for these trial dates. 7. No later than September 12, 2016, the Government must submit its proposed groupings of Defendants for the two scheduled trials. No later than September 16, 2016, Defendants must submit their response, if any, to the Government's proposal; Defendants need not submit formal motions to sever but should raise any severance concerns in their September 16 submissions. 8. The parties must appear for status conferences on September 21, 2016, starting at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom 318 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007. As has been done for the previous status conferences, the Court will divide the Defendants into groups of no more than eight in order to maintain an orderly courtroom during all proceedings. The Court will hold a separate status conference on September 21 for each group of Defendants. The Court will schedule the groups for the September 21, 2016 conference closer to the date of the conference. At the September 21 status conference, the Court will arraign the Defendants on the anticipated superseding indictment, set a briefing schedule for pretrial motions pertaining specifically to S-5 Issues, decide the groups of Defendants to be tried starting on January 17, 2017 and May 1, 2017, and address the need, if any, for additional trial dates for a third group of defendants. 9. No later than September 16, 2016, the Government and the Coordinating Discovery Attorney must submit letters to the Court addressing the status of discovery. In addition, the Government shall provide the Court with an update on the status of the Department of Justice's death penalty process. 10. For the reasons stated on the record of the June 30, 2016 conference, pursuant to 18 U.S.C § 3161(7)(A), the period of delay between June 30, 2016 and September 21, 2016, is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act. The complexity of the case, including the voluminous discovery that needs to be produced and reviewed, warrants a delay, and the ends of justice served by the lengthy continuance outweigh the Defendants' and the public's interests in a speedy trial.
