IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Sattaru’s Second Motion for Extension of Time to File Pretrial Motions [ECF No. 79] is GRANTED .
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant is granted up to and including October 9, 2024 , in which to file pretrial motions or a waiver of such motions. The government shall have until October 23, 2024 , in which to respond to any motions filed by Defendant.
