Introduction of the Court Document: Government's Response to Defendant Walt Nada's Motion to Extend Time

The document outlines Nada's recent motion for an extension of the deadline for expert disclosures under the Classified Information Procedures Act. Originally relying on his counsel's vacation and trial schedule for a delay, Nada changed his tactic when that excuse was no longer valid. His latest claim for a delay is based on insufficient government discovery for him to identify classified evidence and notice expert testimony, a claim deemed factually wrong and legally baseless by the government, as it does not impact the required notices as per the rules. The government urges the court to deny Nada's motion.
