Criminal Case: 18-218 (TSC)

Joint Motion to Continue Status Conference
The United States of America, by and through its attorney, the United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia, and defendant Mariia Butina, also known as Maria Butina, through her
counsel, Robert Driscoll and Alfred Carry, Esqs., respectfully request that the Court continue the
status conference in this matter, presently set for February 12, 2019, to February 26, 2019, at 2:30
p.m.
In support of this motion, the parties represent that on or about December 13, 2018, the
defendant entered a guilty plea to Count 1 of the indictment in this case. As part of her plea
agreement, the defendant agreed to cooperate with the United States. The parties agreed on a status
date of February 12, 2019, to determine whether a sentencing date should be set. The defendant’s
cooperation is not yet complete, and the parties are not prepared to advise the Court about potential
sentencing dates. The parties thus request a continuance of this matter until February 26, 2019, at
2:30 p.m., if that date and time are convenient for the Court.
