Court Grants 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 Court agreed with the defense that a stay of matters was necessary, finding that "the Sixth Amendment has never demanded that an attorney work without compensation and personally shoulder the costs associated with providing a defense."
