Roman Storm Retrial Moved to April 2027 Amid Acquittal Motion

U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla moved Roman Storm’s retrial to April 26, 2027, citing his pending motion for acquittal and related request for a late-April date. The order makes the unresolved post-trial motion a direct factor in pushing the retrial deeper into 2027.

The court also reset the pretrial calendar, with government expert disclosures due February 5, defense disclosures March 5 and rebuttal disclosures March 18. Daubert motions and motions in limine are due March 30, while the April 20 final pretrial conference now anchors the last procedural step before retrial.

Failla excluded time under the Speedy Trial Act through April 26, finding that additional preparation time for the parties and court outweighs the competing interest in a speedy retrial. The order does not resolve Storm’s acquittal motion, leaving that pending decision as the key legal issue before the new trial date arrives.
