Case 1:17-cr-00201-ABJ Document 453 Filed 11/14/18 Page 1 of 1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. Crim. No. 17-201-2 (ABJ) RICHARD W. GATES III, Defendant. JOINT STATUS REPORT COMES NOW, the United States of America, by and through Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III, and the defendant through his counsel, and file this joint status report to update the Court on this matter. 1. The parties previously filed a Joint Status Report on August 10, 2018 and proposed to send an ensuing report within ninety days and no later than November 10, 2018. To date, the status of this matter has not changed substantially since the August report, as defendant Gates continues to cooperate with respect to several ongoing investigations, and accordingly the parties do not believe it is appropriate to commence the sentencing process at this time. 2. The parties respectfully request that they provide a joint status report within sixty days, no later than January 15, 2019. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT S. MUELLER, III Special Counsel /s/ Thomas C. Green Thomas C. Green (D.C. Bar No. 14498) Sidley Austin LLP 1501 K Street, N.W.
