The Government’s proposal will give Maxwell an opportunity to challenge admission of that evidence and to bring to the Court’s attention any issues that require resolution before trial. “This is all that Rule 404(b) requires.” United States v. Thompson, No. 13-cr-378 (AJN), 2013 WL 6246489, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 3, 2013). The Court concludes this schedule is generally reasonable, although additional time to enable briefing and resolution in advance of trial is strongly encouraged. The Court’s denial of Maxwell’s requests to compel pretrial disclosures does not preclude the parties from negotiating in good faith for an expedited discovery timeline that will account for Maxwell’s specific concerns. “[I]n most criminal cases, pretrial disclosure will redound to the benefit of all parties, counsel, and the court.” United States v. Percevault, 490 F.2d 126, 132 (2d Cir. 1974). In general, the Court will require the parties to negotiate a final, omnibus schedule to propose to the Court. The Court concludes that the disclosure of all of the above materials approximately six to eight weeks in advance of trial is appropriate and sufficient. Given the complexities of the case and the addition of two counts via the S2 indictment, the Court encourages the parties to agree to approximately eight weeks. IX.
