Michael Avenatti is due back in a California federal courtroom Monday where a federal judge may set a trial date on charges that the celebrity attorney embezzled millions of dollars from his clients.

Avenatti and his attorneys are butting heads with the prosecutors over evidence seized from Avenatti's law office, as well as access to Avenatti's password-protected Apple phone and computers, and when they'll be ready for trial, according to a joint status report filed last week. Avenatti has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the 36-count indictment. It's the first significant hearing in the case, one of three Avenatti is facing.

"Avenatti is also seeking access to the same computers and phone to prepare for his defense, but he is not willing to provide the password and allow prosecutors to review the filings because of concerns about attorney client privilege, work product privilege and his Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination. By unlocking his devices, he could provide the government with information that could be used against him.
