20. Timeline of the case to date
Fri Jun 20, 2025, 04:42 PM
Jun 20

April 25 - Arrest
May 13 - Indictment
May 14 - Dugan files motion to dismiss indictment with magistrate judge, but without supporting memorandum
May 15 - Arraignment before magistrate judge who also sets trial date for July 22, motions due May 30, responses due June 9, reply due June 16
May 29 - Dugan files oversized memorandum in support of motion to dismiss with magistrate judge
June 9 - Government responds to motion to dismiss
June 11 - Dugan's counsel files for leave to file oversized memorandum
June 13 -- Judge Adelman, assigned to be the trial judge, issues an order scheduling a status conference, noting that the motion to dismiss is still pending before the magistrate judge.
June 16 -- Dugan's counsel file reply to government response
June 18 - Judge assigned to try case holds status conference at which he vacates the trial date, pending decision on motion to dismiss.

Note that Dugan's counsel did not object to the original schedule, undoubtedly because it was well within the Speedy Trial Act timeline, under which the trial date would have been in August, if not later.

For the majority of people, judges are not humiliated, but rather grow in stature. Magoo48 Jun 20 #8
