1 THE COURT: I will hear from the government.
2 MS. LONERGAN: Yes, your Honor. As we put in our
3 written submission to the court, we agree that a brief
4 adjournment is appropriate, but we do not think that a
5 six-month adjournment is necessary or warranted.
6 First, the amount of discovery in this case is not
7 particularly voluminous nor complex in light of the cases tried
8 in this district; and, in addition, the further investigation,
9 I want to focus the court on the facts that are going to be at
10 issue in this trial occurred over a 14-hour period. It is true
11 that, as part of our discovery, we provided information outside
12 of that 14-hour period, anticipating many of the types of
13 requests that the defense counsel has already begun to make.
14 But again, your Honor, this is a very focused, single-incident
15 indictment that is about what happened over the period of 14

17 working conditions at the MCC, it is just not relevant to what
18 is going to be the issues on trial here.
19 I want to also touch on something that plaintiff said
20 about the need to interview witnesses. As we explained to the
21 court, we have done something that's unusual here, which is
22 that we have provided witness statements with our initial
23 discovery almost four months in advance of trial. As the court
24 is aware, we typically provide what we call 3500 material much
25 closer to trial. So the need to review those witness
