The government meeting held on May 7, 2025, focused on updates regarding ongoing court cases, specifically those involving defendants Christopher Morales and Juan Manuel Ramirez.

The session began with a status update on Morales' case. The presiding judge was informed that new discovery materials had been received from the prosecution, indicating that the discovery process was now complete. The defense attorney indicated that they were conducting an investigation and anticipated moving toward trial, which is scheduled for October 21, 2025. A status conference is set for July 22, 2025, prior to the pretrial proceedings.

Following Morales' update, the meeting shifted to the case of Juan Manuel Ramirez. The judge noted that Ramirez's attorney, Brent Wasserstein, was waiting for his client to join the virtual meeting. After some delay, Ramirez was able to connect, and the judge requested that he turn on his camera for the proceedings. Wasserstein provided an update, stating that negotiations with the prosecution were ongoing and that new discovery had been received that morning. However, he noted that a resolution had not yet been reached. The next court setting for Ramirez is scheduled for July 8, 2025.
