MINUTE ORDER. In light of the parties' request that the Court set a trial date at this time, the government must inform the Court of the anticipated length of its case by noon on Friday, November 3, 2017, and at the same time, defendants must inform the Court of the nature of any pretrial motions they expect to file. The parties should be advised that any trial schedule that will be established will necessarily include a period of time for the briefing and resolution of pretrial motions, including motions to suppress or motions testing the legal sufficiency of any charges; the briefing of any motions in limine (which must be complete at least two weeks before the pretrial conference); the submission of a joint pretrial statement at least ten days before the pretrial conference; and a pretrial conference which will be held at least two weeks before the trial. In accordance with detailed instructions to be issued at a later time, the parties will be required to include the following in the joint pretrial statement: proposed voir dire, witness lists, exhibit lists, objections to exhibits, any stipulations or requests that the Court take judicial notice of any facts, and proposed jury instructions. At the pretrial conference, all motions in limine and disputes concerning exhibits will be resolved. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/2/2017. (lcabj2)

Nov 2, 2017
ORDER as to PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR, (1), RICHARD W. GATES, III (2). The government is ordered to show cause by November 3, 2017 why its motion for protective order [Dkt. #19] may be filed ex parte. The submission should address: (1) why the Court has authority to issue a protective order "upon the filing of an indictment" under 21 U.S.C. ยง 853(e)(1)(A) without notice to the defense when it is Section 851(e)(2) that specifically permits the issuance of an order without notice "when an information or indictment has not yet been filed;" and (2) whether or not the Court has the Authority to issue a protective order ex parte, why it is necessary to do so in this case. The government must explain whether and why the provision of notice would jeopardize the availability of property - which has already been identified in the indictment - for forfeiture. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/2/2017. (zjth) Modified on 11/3/2017 - Unsealed pursuant to Minute Order filed on 11/3/2017. (jth). (Entered: 11/02/2017)

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Amy Berman Jackson: Status Conference held on 11/2/2017 as to Defendants PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR., (1), RICHARD W. GATES, III (2). The Court makes a finding that this is a "complex case" for purposes of the Speedy Trial Act, and that the ends of justice that will be served by the establishment of a schedule beyond the limits established by the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. The parties may file submissions by Tuesday, November 7, 2017, setting forth any reasons why the Court should not enter an order pursuant to Local Rule 57.7(c) requiring all interested parties, in particular, counsel for both sides, to refrain from making further statements to the media or in public settings that are substantially likely to have a materially prejudicial effect on this case." Any Motion by Defendant Paul Manafort to modify his conditions of release is due by 11/2/2017. The government's response to both defendants motions is due by 11/3/2017. A Bond Review Hearing is set for 11/6/2017 9:30 AM in Courtroom 3 before Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Any replies need to be filed before the Hearing. The Court allows defendant Richard Gates conditions of release to be modified for the weekend of November 4th and 5th to allow him to attend his children's activities upon the condition that he inform the Pretrial Services Agency of the exact dates and locations of the activities, along with his departure and arrival times from his home. Bond Status of Defendants: Defendant Manafort (1) remains in the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP); Defendant Gates (2) remains on Personal Recognizance Bond; Court Reporter: Elizabeth Saint-Loth; Defense Attorneys: 1) Kevin M. Downing and Thomas Edward Zehnle; 2) Shanlon Wu and David Walker Bos; US Attorneys: Greg Donald Andres, Andrew Weissmann, Kyle R. Freeny; Pretrial Services Officer: Shay Holman. (jth)

ORDER. The parties should be advised that the Court is not inclined to establish a schedule that is subject to periodic continuances; any trial date that is set in this case will be a firm trial date. Therefore, at the hearing on November 6, 2017, the parties should be prepared to address the question of whether it is premature to set a trial date at this time, before the defense has had an opportunity to assess the scope and nature of the discovery it has received and any it plans to undertake. If a trial date is established, the Court intends to set the schedule set forth in this order, so the parties should also be prepared to inform the Court of any conflicts. See Order for details. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/3/2017. (lcabj2) (Entered: 11/03/2017)

MINUTE ORDER denying 41 Motion to Permit as to RICHARD W. GATES III (2). No modification of conditions of release is required to permit attendance at religious services on Sunday, November 12, since that is already covered by the current order. With respect to events on Saturday, November 11, the request was not filed in time to provide for opposition, consideration, and a ruling on a schedule that would enable the defendant to comply with the conditions the Court imposed in connection with the previous similar motion: that he advise the Pretrial Services Agency (which is closed on weekends and holidays) in advance of the time and location of the activities he sought permission to attend. (See Minute Order dated November 2, 2017.) Therefore, the motion will be denied. Unless and until the defendants have been released from home confinement on bond that has been approved by the Court, any future request to modify the conditions of release must be filed two business days before the date of the proposed release. Counsel should also be advised the while the court's electronic docketing system operates 24 hours a day, absent exigent circumstances or a pre-established briefing schedule, pleadings filed outside of normal business hours are ordinarily received and addressed in chambers on the next business day.

Nov 29, 2017
MINUTE ORDER. On November 8, 2017, this Court denied a private individual who is neither a party to this case nor counsel of record for any party leave to file a Motion to Intervene in the proceedings, noting that the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure do not provide for intervention in a criminal case. See Dkt. 39. The would-be intervenor has also attempted to file a Motion to Dismiss Indictment for Insufficient Evidence and Lack of Jurisdiction/Defense Sentencing Memorandum, two notices of appeal, and a motion for reconsideration, see Dkts. 40, 51, 53, and 58, and he has submitted a letter regarding his motion to intervene. Dkt. 59. The Court denied leave to file them all, and the movant appears to be frustrated and disappointed by this decision. The Court recognizes that the movant sincerely believes that he has information to share that bears on this case, and that, understandably, he wishes to be heard. There are many places and means available for a private citizen to express his views about matters of public interest, but the fact is, the Court's docket is not one of them. It is the record of official proceedings related to criminal charges brought by the United States against two individuals who are presumed to be innocent, and for the benefit of all parties concerned and the public, it must be maintained in an orderly fashion and in accordance with court rules. The movant is correct in his assertion that under different circumstances, in civil cases, "friends of the court" may seek permission to file briefs, see Local Civil Rule 7(o), but those circumstances do not pertain here. The movant is also correct in pointing out that in some cases, non-parties submit letters for the Court's consideration at the time of sentencing. It is this Court's practice to docket sentencing materials if and when they are received in any case, but this case is in its early stages, and that practice would not justify granting leave to file the material that has been submitted to date. In sum, the Clerk will be directed not to docket additional pleadings submitted by the would-be intervenor, and if the movant seeks relief from this Court's rulings, he must seek it from the Court of Appeals by filing an appeal of those rulings. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/29/17. (DMK)

MINUTE ORDER granting 100 Motion to Modify Conditions of Release as to RICHARD W. GATES III (2). Upon consideration of Defendant Gates' 100 Unopposed Motion to Modify Release Conditions for Limited Purpose to Attend Child's Christmas Concert, it is ORDERED that the 100 Motion is GRANTED. Any and all additional Christmas-related requests must be filed in one pleading by Wednesday, December 20, 2017 so that the Court can rule on them at one time by Friday, December 22, 2017 in the event the pending bond motion that will obviate them has not been resolved by that time.

Dec 18, 2017
MINUTE ORDER as to PAUL J. MANAFORT, JR. The Court notes that defendant Manafort specifically advised the Court at the hearing on December 11, 2017 that he was seeking release to reside permanently in Florida. The Court worked to issue its order 95 of December 15 to give the family sufficient time to comply with its terms and accomplish the release from home confinement by Christmas. It is somewhat burdensome to the Court and to Pretrial Services for defendant to ask now that a new set of conditions be crafted to accommodate an entirely different arrangement, and the motion seeks more flexibility than will be granted given the fact that the defendant has not yet satisfied the conditions for his release from home confinement. Therefore, the motion will be granted upon the following conditions: defendant must provide the Court with a detailed and complete itinerary, which must include not only the flight schedule, but also the specific dates and times and address for any requested visits to his in-laws' home in East Hampton, and the specific date and time and address of any religious services he seeks to attend on December 24, by noon on December 20, 2017. The itinerary may be filed under seal, and at that time, the Court will issue its order. The order will require that defendant remain at his Bridgehampton home at all other times, and he will continue to be subject to GPS monitoring. There will be no last minute additions to the schedule. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 12/18/2017. (lcabj2)

MINUTE ORDER as to RICHARD W. GATES, III. In his motion 98 to modify conditions of release, defendant Gates identifies certain relatives as potential sureties under 18 U.S.C. ยง 3142(c)(1)(B)(xii), but the only financial information that was submitted concerning them relates to the value of the properties they are willing to post as security under subsection (xi). Defendant Gates must inform the Court whether these individuals are simply being proposed in connection with the forfeiture of the properties, or if he is asking the Court to consider them as sureties under subsection (xii). If he is proffering them as sureties, he must inform the Court when he intends to supplement his submission with the necessary "information regarding the value of the assets and liabilities of [a] surety... other than an approved surety and the nature and extent of encumbrances against the suretys property" so that the Court can determine whether the surety has "a net worth [of]... sufficient unencumbered value to pay the amount of the bail bond" as required by the statute. Also, defendant must address the question of whether he is legally permitted to agree to forfeit assets held in 529 plans and individual retirement accounts, and if so, what effect any consequent taxes and penalties would have on the value of those accounts.

MINUTE ORDER as to RICHARD W. GATES, III. Defendant Gates is ORDERED to show cause by December 27, 2017 why the Court should not find that his reported personal participation in the creation of a fundraising video to be shown to journalists and disseminated on social media, in which, according to multiple press accounts, defendant makes reference to "the cause" and the goal of "ensuring that our supporters from across the United States hear our message and stand with us," would not violate this Court's order 38 of November 8, 2017. Defendant must also explain the nature of his relationship, if any, with Jack Burkman, who reportedly publicly characterized the prosecution as " very unfair" at a December 19, 2017 fundraising event to which journalists were invited, and indicate whether Burkman's comments are being made at his direction or the direction of his counsel. The Court emphasizes that it is not intimating that the creation of a legal defense fund or the expression of personal views by third parties not acting at the behest of the defense would violate its order.

MINUTE ORDER denying 120 Motion to Modify Conditions of Release as to RICHARD W. GATES III. On December 18, 2017, in connection with its ruling on defendant Gatess request 100 to attend his childs Christmas concert, the Court issued the following order: "Any and all additional Christmas-related requests must be filed in one pleading by December 20, 2017 so that the Court can rule on them at one time by Friday, December 22, 2017." In response to that order, defendant Gates submitted his December 19 motion to modify conditions of release for limited purposes to attend holiday events 104, which proposed a series of activities covering the period from December 21 through January 1, 2018. The motion was granted in part and denied in part on December 20, and the Court's order 107 included this admonition: "There will be no additions or changes to this schedule." On December 22, defendant Gates sought reconsideration of that ruling 110 119 in one respect: "Mr. Gates... respectfully asks this Court to make an exception from its sealed order of December 20, 2017 regarding his Christmas holiday events." He emphasized the singular importance to his family of a particular event on December 26, and on December 22, the Court accommodated his request, modifying its order of December 20 111 . After all of that, on December 28, 2017, defendant Gates filed yet another motion 120, with a new plan for New Year's celebrations. But the Court's original order was designed to ensure that any requests would be filed at a time when they could be reviewed and processed in accordance with all of the arcane procedures involved in the docketing and transmittal of sealed orders, which cannot be handled electronically. Given the untimely filing of the current motion, it will be denied. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 12/29/2017. (lcabj2)

Order on Sealed Motion for Leave to File Document Under Seal
Feb 22, 2018
MINUTE ORDER denying without prejudice 153 defendant Manafort's sealed motion for reconsideration of the conditions of release, which was supported by 174 182 184 186 several supplemental filings. While it remains the Court's ruling that in order to be relieved of the condition of home confinement, defendant may supply either security under 18 U.S.C. ยง 3142(c)(1)(B)(xi), or a surety under subsection (xii), or a combination of the two as a substitute for the $10 million appearance bond that is now unsecured, the current proposal is unsatisfactory. Subsection (xi) calls for the execution of "an agreement to forfeit... property of sufficient unencumbered value," and it mandates that the Court be provided with information concerning existing encumbrances. Upon review of that information, the Court has determined that in the absence of additional security or assets pledged by a surety, it will not accept as security the Alexandria property that has already been pledged in its entirety as collateral for the loan on the Bridgehampton property. Notwithstanding the information provided to the Court concerning the borrower's understanding of the transaction, none of the loan documents submitted to the Court specifies that the security for the bank loan must be forfeited in any particular order. Defendant remains free to obtain relief from his current conditions of release through compliance with the Court's 95 order dated December 15, 2017, or he may submit another motion seeking modification of that order or proposing a different bond package. To the extent that defendant wishes to offer the Fifth Avenue property as part of the security for the bond in a future pleading, he must supply records from the lender verifying that the mortgage payments are current. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/22/2018. (lcabj2)
