There's a superseding indictment.
Lemke says, "Mrs. Jones, I plead not guilty."
Federal Defender: I'm not sure we're going to need a hearing for our pre-trial motions. We'd like a trial date.
Judge Hellerstein: I'll have to rule on your motions.

Judge Hellerstein: I'd like to rule on July 29.
AUSA: We could file early if the Court prefers.
Judge Hellerstein: Can you file by July 22, if you need an adjournment you can ask. There are trial in August and I'd like to get this done by then. Motions by July 9.

Judge Hellerstein: What does O.A. mean?
Ms. Jones: Oral argument.
Judge Hellerstein: That one's civil, this will go first.
AUSA: We'd like a trial date after Nov 1.
Judge Hellerstein: How about Oct 18?
FD: Lemke wants it asap.

Lemke himself: Can you comply with the Speedy Trial Act?
Judge Hellerstein: I am. Because of the limitations on the court and its rooms, I'll exclude time. Trial is October 18 at 10 am.
FD: Mr Lemke objects.
Judge Hellerstein: Noted. We're done.
Story later.
