GOVERNMENT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO VACATE BRIEFING SCHEDULE
As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, the defendant is expected to be
certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025. The
Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial
schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine
the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy. By
December 2, 2024, the Government will file a status report or otherwise inform the Court of the
result of its deliberations. The Government has consulted with defense counsel, who do not object
to this request.

Respectfully submitted,
