Ho Wan Kwok (a/k/a Guo Wengui, a/k/a Miles Guo), SDNY 1:23-cr-00118 ECF #99 (issued June 29, 2023). In response to Defendant Ho Wan Kwok's motion requesting amendment and reconsideration of a prior order, the Court granted a technical correction regarding the statement of defense counsel's request for a trial date but denied the Defendant's request for reconsideration of the overall order.","body_en":"UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,\n\n-against-\n\nHO WAN KWOK and YANPING WANG,\n\nDefendants.\n\nANALISA TORRES, District Judge:\n\nOn June 27, 2023, Defendant Ho Wan Kwok filed a motion requesting that the Court amend and reconsider its June 26, 2023 order (\"Order\"), ECF No. 93. ECF No. 96.\n\nKwok argues that the Court erred when it stated that \"defense counsel requested a trial date in early April 2024.\" Order at 2. He is correct. At a conference on June 6, 2023, defense counsel requested \"a trial date along the lines of what we proposed to the Court earlier in April.\" June 6, 2023 Tr. 4:8-17, ECF No. 88. Counsel was referring to a letter to the Court dated April 20, 2023, in which Defendants proposed a trial date of August 25, 2023. ECF No. 53. Accordingly, Kwok's motion to amend is GRANTED. The Court shall amend its Order to delete the following language: \"defense counsel requested a trial date in early April 2024.\"\n\nKwok also requests that, \"to the extent that the Court's decision to set the April 8, 2024 trial date relies upon\" the erroneous belief that defense counsel requested a trial date in early April 2024, the Court reconsider its Order. ECF No. 96 at 2. Kwok contends that he did not waive his right to a speedy trial. *Id.* The Order did not state that Kwok waived any rights, nor did the Court rely on any purported waiver in coming to its decision. Similarly, the Order did not rest on Defendants' acquiescence or objection to a particular trial date. The Court specifically noted that Defendants opposed the exclusion of time and determined that the reasons for exclusion cited in the Order \"outweigh[] the interests of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial.\" Order at 1–2; *see also* 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). Therefore, the error identified by Kwok does not affect the Court's conclusion that the April 8, 2024 trial date and the exclusion of time are necessary to ensure sufficient time for adequate preparation, given the complexity of this case, the voluminous discovery in both Mandarin and English, and the involvement of classified information. Order at 2. Accordingly, Defendant's motion for reconsideration is DENIED.\n\nSO ORDERED.\n\nDated: June 29, 2023 New York, New York\n\nOS\n\nUSDC SDNY DOCUMENT ELECTRONICALLY FILED DOC #: \\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_ DATE FILED: \\_6/29/2023\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\n\n## 23 Cr. 118 (AT)\n\n**ORDER**","body_zh":"UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）UNITED STATES OF AMERICA（美利坚合众国），\n\n-诉-\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）及 YANPING WANG（王雁平），\n\n被告。\n\nANALISA TORRES（阿娜丽莎·托雷斯），地区法官：\n\n2023年6月27日，被告郭文贵提出动议，请求法院修改并重新审议其于2023年6月26日作出的裁定（“裁定”），ECF No. 93。ECF No. 96。\n\n郭文贵主张，法院在陈述“辩护律师请求在2024年4月初设定庭审日期”时存在错误。裁定第 2 页。他是正确的。在2023年6月6日的庭审会议上，辩护律师请求“按照我们4月早些时候向法院提议的方案设定庭审日期”。2023年6月6日庭审记录 4:8-17，ECF No. 88。律师指的是2023年4月20日致法院的一封信函，被告在信中提议将庭审日期定为2023年8月25日。ECF No. 53。因此，郭文贵关于修改的动议获准（GRANTED）。法院应修改其裁定，删除以下措辞：“辩护律师请求在2024年4月初设定庭审日期”。\n\n郭文贵还请求，“在法院将庭审日期定为2024年4月8日的决定依赖于”辩护律师请求在2024年4月初开庭这一错误认知的范围内，法院应重新审议其裁定。ECF No. 96 第 2 页。郭文贵辩称他并未放弃获得快速审判的权利。同上。裁定并未说明郭文贵放弃了任何权利，法院在作出决定时也未依赖于任何所谓的弃权。同样地，裁定并未基于被告对某一特定庭审日期的默许或反对。法院特别指出，被告反对排除计算时间，并认定裁定中所述的排除理由“超过了公众和被告在快速审判方面的利益”。裁定第 1–2 页；亦见 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)。因此，郭文贵指出的错误并不影响法院的结论，即鉴于本案的复杂性、包含中文和英文的大量开示证据材料以及涉及机密信息，将庭审日期定为2024年4月8日并排除计算时间对于确保有足够时间进行充分准备是必要的。裁定第 2 页。因此，被告关于重新审议的动议被驳回（DENIED）。\n\n特此裁定。\n\n日期：2023年6月29日 纽约州纽约市\n\nOS\n\nUSDC SDNY 电子归档文件 文件编号：__________________ 归档日期：_6/29/2023_____\n\n23 Cr. 118 (AT)\n\n裁定","key_entities":["Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","Yanping Wang","Je","Torres","Analisa Torres","Classified Information"],"ecf_references":[{"doc_number":53,"court":"SDNY"},{"doc_number":88,"court":"SDNY"},{"doc_number":93,"court":"SDNY"},{"doc_number":96,"court":"SDNY"}],"word_count":403,"status":"published","published_at":"2023-04-20 00:00:00","created_at":"2023-04-20","updated_at":"2026-08-23 07:20:52"}
