[00:04:20]Yes, I can hear you.

[00:04:21]>> All right, we're just getting We're getting your attorney back in the courtroom. He was in and then ducked out again.

[00:04:45]>> Uh Mr. Hadley, your appearance for Mr. Shear, please.

[00:04:48]>> Good morning, Your Honor. It's attorney Josh Hadley, appearing on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Douglas Shear, who's appearing via Zoom. Um Your Honor, we're just setting this matter for a final pretrial for the complaint to appear.

[00:04:59]And we have one housekeeping matter we'd like to put on the record related to retrieval of personal property from the residence.

[00:05:08]When the court's ready.

[00:05:09]>> Did you um Did you discuss how far out we were going to go for the final pretrial? Did you pick a date?

[00:05:46]Uh after kind of reading the police report and discussing this with Mr. Shear, I think it would be in everyone's best interest to have a agreed-upon third party be the individual who goes to the residence even with the police standby.

[00:05:59]I think it's just going to be a better for everyone involved.

[00:06:03]>> Okay.

[00:06:03]>> So, we would ask the court to basically amend the police standby to allow for a third party on behalf of the defendant to do the retrieval.

[00:06:21]>> Okay.

[00:06:21]>> Very good.

[00:06:40]>> Fair enough. Good luck, Mr. Shear.

[00:06:43]>> Thank you, Your Honor.

[00:15:28]>> All right.

[00:15:29]>> The court moved through several administrative matters before turning its attention to the case involving Maxim Andre. Proceedings were briefly delayed because the defendant required the assistance of a Russian interpreter.

[00:15:43]Court staff coordinated the interpreter's appearance, and the hearing resumed once all necessary parties were present. When the case was called, defense attorney Leo Garb informed the court that the matter itself was relatively straightforward.

[00:15:57]However, he explained that there were potential immigration consequences associated with the case, and confirmed that his client was fully aware of those concerns. The defense further advised the court that they were still awaiting a final response from the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office regarding a deviation request, and requested a short adjournment to allow those discussions to conclude. After considering the request, the judge agreed to continue the matter, and scheduled the final pre-trial hearing for February 28th at 10:00 a.m. The court also renewed the request for a Russian interpreter to ensure the defendant would have language assistance available at the next appearance. During this portion of the session, the court also handled several routine scheduling and administrative matters involving other defendants, attorneys, and court personnel checked the status of pending cases, coordinated future hearing dates, and discussed ongoing communications with prosecutors.

[00:16:58]Defendants, including Mr. Washington and Mr. Sure, were among those whose cases were briefly addressed as the court worked through its docket and arranged upcoming proceedings, colon.
