Following withdrawal of Richard Maike’s lawyer again in April, he was given thirty days to search out new counsel.
Maike is a named defendant within the DOJ’s Infinity2Global prison case, which is scheduled to go to trial on July twenty second.
In a brand new movement filed on June tenth, Maike advises the courtroom he’s discovered a brand new lawyer.
Downside is the lawyer will solely characterize Maike if the trial is delayed to February 2020.
Maike claims to have contacted “a number of attorneys”, none of which have been keen to characterize him with no continuance.
I’m not likely certain what occurs underneath these circumstances.
The DOJ has alleged Maike has delaying proceedings since not less than October 2018.
The problem again then was “trial preparation”. Eight months later it’s the identical story.
For the reason that FTC started investigating him in 2015, Maike has burned by means of 4 separate legislation corporations.
His final lawyer break up on account of a deterioration within the attorney-client relationship.
What’s to say Maike is granted a continuance, hires this new layer, spits the dummy later within the 12 months and requests yet one more continuance?
Pending a call on Maike’s movement, keep tuned…
Replace 18th June 2019 – On June eleventh an order directed events within the case to file a response to Maike’s continuance movement by June seventeenth.
Between June twelfth and seventeenth “no objection” response filings had been made by the events, together with the DOJ.
Maike has apparently lately retained new counsel, and it might be unreasonable to anticipate satisfactory preparation for trial throughout the time remaining earlier than the trial date now set.
Maike requested a February 2020 trial continuance. As of but the courtroom hasn’t formally granted the movement.
Replace twenty second June 2019 – On June nineteenth Maike’s movement for a trial continuance was granted.
Replace twentieth August 2019 – As per an August fifth order, the Infinity2Global trial has been rescheduled for Could eleventh, 2020.
