MOTION for Discovery by USA as to Hester Sophia Weihmann. (Teirab, Joseph) (Entered: 10/05/2026)

(Text-only) ORDER denying 13 Motion for Discovery as to Hester Sophia Weihmann (1).The Government filed a Motion for Discovery on October 5, 2026 (Dkt. 13) seeking certain discovery and disclosures from Defendant. As is the Court's typical practice in criminal cases, the Court will issue a case management order addressing discovery and disclosures following a status conference. To the extent the Motion was filed for purposes of tolling the Speedy Trial Act clock, the Court will address Speedy Trial Act computation at the status conference. The Court has been advised that an Afrikaans interpreter is required for Defendant and will set the status conference once an interpreter is identified. If the parties agree that the status conference is unnecessary, they may file a proposed case management order, which must also address exclusion of time for purposes of Speedy Trial Act computation, and the Court will not hold a status conference. The Motion for Discovery 13 is DENIED without prejudice pending a status conference (at which the Court will address discovery and disclosures along with Speedy Trial Act computation) or pending the parties' submission of a proposed case management order. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright on 10/6/2026. (CRD) (Entered: 10/06/2026)
