VERIFIED MOTION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINE

Comes now counsel for Attorneys Baldwin and Rozzi and respectfully move to extend

the discovery deadline of March 7, 2024. In support thereof counsel states:

1. On February 22, 2004, the Court issued an order stating in pertinent part

“…now orders counsel for the defense attorneys to provide to the State of Indiana all the exhibits

intended to be introduced at the hearing on March 18, 2024, on or before March 7, 2024. The

Court did not issue a reciprocal order for the State to provide their exhibits expected to be

introduced.

2. However Mr. McLeland and undersigned have cooperated in reciprocal discovery.

Undersigned has provided expected exhibits to Mr. McLeland as they have become available.

The undersigned believes Mr. McLeland has provided all expected exhibits available to him

prior to March 1, 2024.

3. On March 1, 2024, counsel conducted depositions of most of the State’s identified

witnesses. At that time, it was learned that the ISP report provided to Mr. McLeland then the

undersigned did not contain the attachments. Mr. McLeland pledged to obtain them and share.

4. Also during the depositions it was learned that Sgt. Holeman had conducted recorded

interviews with pertinent people. It is not yet known if those were the omitted attachments to the

report. Again, Mr. McLeland assured the undersigned they would be produced.
5. On March 5, 2024, at 8:24 a.m. Mr. McLeland communicated to undersigned that he

had the attachments and would collect the interviews and provide them through discovery that

day. Then on March 6 at 9:23 p.m. Mr. McLeland advised that due to time constraints he would

be unable to provide those materials until March 7, 2024.

6. Upon review of the State’s additional discovery the undersigned may have additional

exhibits. It will be impossible to determine that until the new materials are reviewed which, due

to counsel’s schedule, cannot be done before late in the afternoon of March 7, 2024.

7. On February 29, 2024, and March 1, 2024, the defense was contacted by two separate

individuals who claimed to have documents pertinent to leaks. Despite diligent efforts the

defense has not yet obtained these documents to be able to assess their credibility and reliability.

Upon doing so the defense may have additional exhibits, which of course will be provided to the

State as all others have been.

8. Time is certainly not of the essence because everything the State complains of

happened months ago, and was fully vetted. The Sate did not file its allegations of contemptible

conduct until after the Indiana Supreme Court reinstated Attorneys Baldwin and Rozzi. The issue

of contempt is not an urgent matter.

9. Mr. McLeland objects to an extension.

10. Undersigned requests an extension of one week.

WHEREFORE, counsel respectfully prays the Court to extend the submission of exhibits

deadline to March 14, 2024.

Respectfully Submitted,
