Attorneys with the United States Department of Justice have extra time to make discovery and give former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky’s defense team time to review related documents.

In a July 25 order, U.S. District Judge John Koeltl said he would exclude the time between July 25 and Oct. 3 from Speedy Trial Act calculations — the law which requires a federal criminal trial to begin within 70 days of an indictment being filed. He cited the “volume of discovery” as well as the “complexity of the case” against the former Celsius CEO.
