UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. VENKATESH SATTARU
Case No. 4:24-cr-00169-JAR-JSD
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION
January 6, 2025
Doc. #: 111 | Filed: 01/06/25 | PageID #: 225
On January 3, 2025, Defendant Venkatesh Sattaru filed his Motion to Extend the Time to File Pretrial Motions (“Defendant Sattaru‘s Motion“), seeking an additional sixty (60) days in which to file any pretrial motions or a waiver thereof [ECF No. 110].
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Sattaru‘s Motion to Extend the Time to File Pretrial Motions [ECF No. 110] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant is granted up to and including March 7, 2025, in which to file pretrial motions or a waiver of such motions. The government shall have until March 21, 2025, in which to respond to any motions filed by Defendant.
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the pretrial evidentiary hearing will be set upon further order of the Court.
For the reasons set out in Defendant‘s Motion, the undersigned finds that to deny Defendant‘s request for such additional time would deny counsel for the Defendant the reasonable time necessary for an effective investigation and preparation of pretrial motions. Therefore, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and finding that the ends of justice served by granting Defendant‘s requests for additional time outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendant in
Dated this 6th day of January, 2025.
