AMENDED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF SCHEDULING CONFERENCE Defendant, James Ball, by and through his undersigned counsel, Christopher S. Koyste, hereby moves the Court for an Order to continue the March 1, 2007 Scheduling Conference, which is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. As grounds, it is stated: 1. Mr. Ball was charged with committing wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 1343, and money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C.§§ 1956(a)(1)B)(i) and (2). Mr. Ball is currently on bail and being supervised by Pre-Trial Services. The parties have made progress toward resolving this action and are in final negotiations. 2. The Court scheduled a Scheduling Conference on March 1, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. Counsel, however, has a Change of Plea Hearing scheduled during that time before Chief Judge Sue L. Robinson. 3. Because of this conflict, Mr. Ball respectfully requests that the Scheduling Conference be postponed to another date and time. Counsel spoke to David Weiss, Chief of the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney's Office, who indicated that the government does not oppose this request.
