Defense Letter · Three-Business-Day Extension Request
This two-page letter, dated January 28, 2026 from John F. Kaley of Doar Rieck Kaley & Mack (with co-counsel Joshua Dratel and Melinda Sarafa), is the underlying defense letter requesting the extension of deadlines that the Court grants at case-doc-798 in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok (Miles Guo), S3 23 Cr. 118 (AT).
Request
The defense requests — without objection from the government — that:
- The defense's deadline to file objections to the POF be extended three business days, from January 29, 2026 to February 3, 2026;
- The government's response time be extended commensurate three business days, from February 12, 2026 to February 17, 2026.
Reasons Cited
- Counsel and the entire defense team have been working diligently on the POF objections;
- Other matters relating to this case — in addition to delays occasioned by the recent snowstorm — have taken more time than anticipated;
- Recent submissions to the Court regarding CIPA and the Rule 17(c) subpoena have added to the workload;
- Following the January 20, 2026 court appearance, undersigned counsel have been inundated with statements from investors and customers previously unknown to counsel, whose perspectives bear directly on the issues at hand;
- For lead counsel personally, unplanned necessities of another matter then scheduled for trial in this courthouse on March 2, 2026 have caused schedule pressure.
