"The United States respectfully moves the Court to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act from the date of defendant Brian J. Cole, Jr.'s arrest on December 4, 2025, through the date of the detention hearing, which the defense has requested to continue. 1 In response to the Court's inquiry, the government conferred with defense counsel. Defense counsel has requested that the government represent the following to the Court in this motion:"
"The defense requests that the Court continue the detention hearing in this case currently set for December 15, 2025, to allow the defense additional time to review the significant amount of discovery provided by the government to date. The defense consents to the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act from December 4, 2025, through the date of the rescheduled detention hearing."
"We might have learned more about evidence and motive at such a hearing, but now we'll have to wait until December 30, if at all. Last Wednesday, the AUSA in the case, submitted a filing basically saying, "Regarding your question about whether we still need a detention hearing on December 15, I respond that the defense wants another two weeks to review discovery before such a hearing, and we'd like an exclusion of time under Speedy Trial Act.""
Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey's detention hearing for Brian J. Cole, Jr. was rescheduled from December 15 to December 30, 2025. The defense requested additional time to review a significant amount of discovery and consented to an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act from Cole's arrest on December 4, 2025, through the rescheduled detention hearing. The government does not oppose the defense continuance and filed a joint motion reflecting the parties' requested relief. The filing notes administrative efficiency in a single motion. A separate report indicates an FBI agent wrote code to parse T‑Mobile cell‑tower dumps used to locate Cole.
