manufactured any alleged delay to gain a tactical advantage over her. She has “offered no credible
evidence to suggest that the Government tarried in bringing charges against [her] solely to gain
some prosecutorial advantage.” Pierre-Louis, 2018 WL 4043140, at *5. As such, because the
defendant cannot meet her “heavy burden” of showing both actual prejudice and unjustifiable
Government conduct, her motion to dismiss the Indictment for pre-indictment delay should be
denied.”
IV. The Court Should Deny the Defendant’s Motions to Suppress
The defendant moves to suppress evidence the Government obtained pursuant to a grand
jury subpoena issued to Boies Schiller and to dismiss Counts Five and Six under the Due Process
Clause, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and the Second Circuit’s decision in
Martindell v. Int’l Tel. and Tel. Corp., 594 F.2d 291 (2d Cir. 1979). (Def. Mots. 3 & 11). In
particular, the defendant contends that the Government violated the Second Circuit’s decision in
Martindell and misled Chief Judge McMahon in obtaining the modification of a protective order.
She also contends the subpoena was overly broad and amounted to an unlawful search of materials
in which she had a reasonable expectation of privacy, as well as an infringement of her privilege
against self-incrimination. Although the defendant styles her request for relief as two separate
*5 The defendant asks the Court for leave to supplement her motion “after the government provides
her with meaningful discovery” and notes that “after the disclosure of meaningful discovery, [she]
may request that the Court defer ruling on this motion until after any trial if the indictment has not
been dismissed on other grounds.” (Def. Mot. 7 at 1). As noted above and discussed further in
Section X, infra, the Government has complied with its Rule 16 obligations and will produce
Giglio and Jencks Act materials well in advance of trial. The Court should reject the defendant’s
invitation to defer ruling on this motion. See, e.g., United States v. Muric, No. 10 Cr. 112 (LTS),
2010 WL 2891178, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. July 13, 2010) (“The motion to dismiss the Indictment as the
result of pre-indictment delay is therefore denied, without prejudice to appropriately supported
later motion practice.”); United States v. Drago, No. 18 Cr. 0394 (SJF) (AYS), 2019 WL 3072288,
at *2 (E.D.N.Y. July 15, 2019) (denying motion to dismiss on the ground of pre-indictment delay
without prejudice to renewal).
