A Manhattan federal judge is set to consider arguments in the coming weeks on Michael Avenatti’s request to transfer a criminal case accusing him of stealing $300,000 from his former client, Stephanie Clifford, the adult film star who performed under the name Stormy Daniels, to a California federal court.

According to a court spokesman, U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts of the Southern District of New York set Aug. 22 as the date for Avenatti to file his Rule 21 transfer motion during a brief status conference Tuesday in one of two criminal cases currently pending against Avenatti in New York, Avenatti’s attorney said. The government is scheduled to respond by Sept. 11.
