1. Entry 64May 26, 2026

   SCHEDULING ORDER as to Jose Luis Brown-Ceballos. The Court, at the request of counsel, schedules a Change of Plea Hearing for 7/9/2026 at 01:00PM in Portland Courtroom 13A before Judge Karin J. Immergut. Ordered by Judge Karin J. Immergut. (jy) (Entered: 05/26/2026)

2. Entry 63May 1, 2026

   ORDER Granting Motion to Continue Trial 62 as to Cesar Daniel Arevalo (1), Ismael Isael Barrera (2), Jose Luis Diaz-Ceballos (3), and Jose Luis Brown-Ceballos (4). The 5-day Jury Trial is reset for 8/4/2026 at 09:00AM in Portland Courtroom 13A before Judge Karin J. Immergut. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A), the Court specifically finds, in granting the motion, that the ends of justice outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial because the failure to grant the requested continuance is likely to result in a miscarriage of justice (18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(B)(i)) and likely would deny Defendants' counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence (18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(B)(iv)). In support of this finding, the Court further finds the requested delay for the purpose of completing pretrial investigation, and consultation with defendants is reasonable and necessary and therefore, the time from 5/5/2026 to 8/4/2026 is properly excludable according to law. The previous dates of 5/5/2026 and 7/28/2026 are VACATED. Ordered by Judge Karin J. Immergut. (jy) (Entered: 05/01/2026)
