IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff v. ANTOINE PATRICK, Defendant. : : : : : : : : :

Criminal Action No. 07-37-GMS

DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO POSTPONE HEARING OF PRETRIAL MOTIONS Defendant, Antoine Patrick, by and through his attorney, Edson A. Bostic, Federal Public Defender for the District of Delaware, files the instant motion seeking postponement of the Pretrial Motions Hearing. In support thereof, it is averred as follows: 1. On or about July 2, 2007, this Court held a Pretrial Conference in the above-captioned matter. At that conference, the Court scheduled a hearing on defendant's Pretrial Motions for July 30, 2007. 2. However, Counsel has a conflict because he is scheduled to begin trial in another matter that same day. Specifically, counsel expects to be on trial in the matter of United States of America v. Robert Cottman, Criminal Action No. 07-25-JJF.1 3. Accordingly, Counsel must request that this Court postpone the motions hearing in this matter and reschedule the hearing to a time convenient for the Court and all counsel.

The defendant and the government, however, are in discussions which may result in a non-trial disposition, and alleviate the need for a trial.
