Defense files Motion for Partial Stay of Proceedings due to lapse in CJA funding and resulting impact on defense investigation

In U.S. v. Fawaz Ahemeid, Cr. 20-502 (EDNY) (a prior Garland no seek pending reconsideration by Bondi DOJ), the defense seeks a stay of matters requiring travel outside of the United States by defense counsel or those acting on counsels’ behalf, as well as the use of service providers for whom expenses and/or associated service fees would need to be advanced. The motion (at DE 141) is supported by a declaration detailing the challenges of investigating in foreign countries and a pdf with exhibits can be found here.
