Criminal No. 15-cr-30018-MGM

Parties Joint Memorandum Pursuant to Local Rule 116.5(b)

The United States of America, by Carmen M. Ortiz, United States Attorney for the
District of Massachusetts, and counsel for Alexander Ciccolo, David Hoose, Esq., hereby file
their joint memorandum pursuant to Local Rule 116.5(b):
1.

The government has produced automatic discovery. To date, the government has

produced to the defendant discovery in 1378 pages, along with disks and a hard drive of media
and other evidence.
2.

The government will provide discovery in response to any future request

according to the Local Rules and pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, including
any supplemental discovery if any additional materials are obtained.
3.

The Court has ordered that the deadline for the defendant to file discovery

requests be postponed until after the government decides whether to seek additional charges
against him.
4.

A protective order has been agreed to by the parties and entered by the Court. See

Docket No. 41.

5.

The parties agree that the scheduling of Fed. R. Crim. P. 12(b) motions at this

time is premature.
6.

The parties agree that expert witness disclosures are premature. Concerning the

pending firearms and assault charges, the government will call a firearms expert to discuss the
firearms seized from the defendant.
7.

The defendant requests 30 additional days to notify the government whether he

will pursue a defense of insanity, public authority, and/or alibi.

8.

The parties agree that all of the time from May 24, 2016 to the date of the next

status conference should be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7). The
parties agree that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from the Speedy Trial Act,
outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial. The parties agree that
this Speedy Trial Act exclusion is appropriate in order to allow: (1) the government time to
consider presenting a superseding indictment to the grand jury that would significantly alter the
prosecution and defense of the case, (2) defense counsel to review the discovery with the
defendant, and (3) the defendant to consider his options in light of the evidence. A proposed
order of excludable delay is attached.
9.

The parties have not yet engaged in plea discussions. The estimated length of

trial is 4 weeks.
10.

The parties recommend that an additional interim status conference be scheduled

during the week of July 11, 2016.

Criminal No. 15-cr-30018-MGM

[PROPOSED] ORDER OF EXCLUDABLE DELAY

June ____, 2016
The government has made a motion for an order of excludable delay that has been
assented to by the defendant.
The Court finds that the time from May 24, 2016 until the date of the next status
conference, July _____, 2016, is excludable from the calculation of the time within which the
trial must begin pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act.
The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance to the date of
the next status conference, July _____, 2016, and excluding this time from the calculation of the
time within which the trial must begin outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant
in a speedy trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. ' 3161(h)(7)(A) and Local Rule 112.2. The exclusion
will serve the ends of justice because it will allow the government time to consider bringing
additional charges, defense counsel time to review the voluminous discovery produced to date
and share it with the defendant, and for the defendant to consider his options in light of the
evidence.
