The United States government filed a consent motion to exclude time in the case involving eight defendants: Nadine Mahoro Mwamikazi, Sky Tiffany Lawson, Sayquan Leon Bridges, Christian Malik Adrea, Stephawn Malik Watson, Aiyanna Mone Washington, Trez Anthony Hendy, and Tayonna Sonora Johnson.

The motion seeks to pause the speedy trial clock, a common procedural step in complex federal cases. The motion includes a proposed order and was submitted by Assistant United States Attorney Colleen McGuinn. No judge has been assigned to the case yet, and the court and docket number remain unspecified.

This motion follows similar filings on the same day for other defendants in related matters, including Dementrous Von Smith and Michael Akame Ngwese Ay Makoge. The parties also submitted a joint status report on May 12, 2026, signaling ongoing coordination between the prosecution and defense.

The consent nature of the motion suggests agreement among the parties to delay trial deadlines, likely to allow for further investigation, discovery, or plea negotiations.

The lack of a judge assignment and the absence of a formal docket number indicate the case is in early procedural stages. The government’s repeated use of time exclusion motions across multiple defendants points to a broader, possibly multi-defendant investigation or prosecution. The court’s response to these motions will shape the timeline for pretrial proceedings and potential trial dates.

Watch for the court’s ruling on the motion to exclude time. The judge’s decision will determine how the speedy trial clock is managed and set the pace for the next phase of litigation. any future status reports or scheduling orders will provide insight into the case’s direction and the parties’ readiness to proceed.
