Earlier this month the three year window for Ross Ulbricht to seek a new trial through a Rule 33 motion passed. Katherine Forrest denied a motion from Ulbricht's new attorney Paul Grant to grant an extension in light of Ulbricht's previous counsel Joshual Dratel having perfomed the greatest failure in modern legal history.

Meanwhile a seperate set of attorneys retained by Ulbricht's family is seperately working to try to unravel the Dratel inflicted mess in the empire's appelate courts (archived).
