On August 16, 2023, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to re-open consideration of the motion to suppress evidence and set the case for jury selection on September 5, 2023. Defense filed a motion to continue the case to the November 7, 2023 trial list. It is likely that the case can be resolved with a conditional plea of guilty that preserves the defendant’s right to appeal the denial of various pretrial motions. There remain a few details regarding the terms of the agreement that must be resolved and defense counsel must determine whether Mr. Karun may participate in any plea hearing by video for reasons concerning his mental and physical condition and the fact that he is incarcerated in Connecticut.
Counsel for the Government does not object to the motion.
Defendant waives his rights under the Speedy Trial Act and requests that the period of time requested be excluded from computation pursuant to the Act.
After full consideration of the representations of the parties in this case and after full consideration of the record in this case, the court hereby incorporates such representations as findings of fact. Taking into consideration the factors set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(B), the Court can and does find that the

Case 1:19-cr-00204-LEW Document 126 Filed 10/16/23 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 699
ends of justice served by the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The defendant’s unopposed motion is hereby GRANTED.
2. Trial is continued to January 2, 2024.
3. The time period between November 7, 2023 and January 2, 2024 for trial is hereby excluded from calculations under the Speedy Trial Act, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161 et seq.
SO ORDERED.
Dated this 16th day of October, 2023.
/s/ Lance E. Walker U.S. District Judge
