The date change comesless than one month after a major shake-upon Weinsteins legal team.
Reports claimed that Weinstein and lawyer Benjamin Brafman had been at odds for weeks.
Justice James Burke, who is overseeing the Weinstein case, ultimately green-lit the change during a proceeding.
Burke asked Weinstein, Do you waive any conflict that might pose?
Absolutely, Weinstein answered.
(McGowan wound uppleading no contestin that case, according to reports.)
Baez and Sullivan had told Burke that they expected to follow the previously discussed case schedule.
Neither Sullivan nor a rep for Baez immediately responded to requests for comment.
The Manhattan District Attorneys Office also declined to comment.
Brafmaninsisted in late 2018, however, that Weinstein was eager to clear his name.
He has pleaded not guilty in the case.
