Government counsel and counsel for Mr. Bridges and Ms. Washington are directed to confer with each other and propose a time the week of April 22 for a telephone conference to discuss scheduling motions and a trial (via email to MDD_BAHChambers@mdd.uscourts.gov). Signed by District Judge

District Judge Brendan Abell Hurson issued a paperless order on April 16, 2024, in the case involving defendants Sky Tiffany Lawson, Sayquan Leon Bridges, Aiyanna Mone Washington, Trez Anthony Hendy, and Tayonna Sonora Johnson. The order responded to the government's status report filed at docket entry 244.

It directs government counsel and the attorneys for Sayquan Leon Bridges and Aiyanna Mone Washington to coordinate and propose a date during the week of April 22, 2024, for a telephone conference. The purpose of the call is to discuss scheduling motions and set a trial date. The parties must submit their proposed times via email to the court's chambers.

The court also set a deadline for the next joint status report on June 14, 2024. This report will update the court on progress toward resolving pretrial issues and readiness for trial. The order reflects ongoing case management efforts as the court moves toward trial preparation.

It signals that the court expects the parties to engage in active discussions about the case schedule and any outstanding motions.

The docket number and court location remain unspecified in the public record. The order's procedural focus suggests the case is in the pretrial phase, with the court seeking to establish firm deadlines and a trial timeline. The involvement of multiple defendants indicates a complex matter, but the order itself centers on administrative coordination rather than substantive rulings.

Watchers should note the upcoming telephone conference and the June 14 status report. These will clarify the parties' positions on motions and trial readiness. The court's direction to counsel to confer shows an emphasis on cooperation to streamline case management.

The next steps will reveal whether the parties are matched on scheduling or if disputes over motions or trial timing will arise.
