This document appears to be page 12 of a legal filing from August 6, 2021, concerning a defendant named Mr. Robertson (Case 1:17-cr-02949). The text outlines significant challenges to the defense, including the recent withdrawal of initial attorneys, the complexity of the case (involving 24 government witnesses and potential 34-40 year sentence), and severe difficulties in trial preparation caused by COVID-19 restrictions at the Santa Fe County Detention Center. Specifically, the defense cites the inability to review documents effectively via Zoom or through glass partitions.
