Utah prosecutors have charged Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty.
An attorney for the man charged with killing the conservative activist Charlie Kirk asked a judge on Monday for more time to review the large amount of evidence in the case before deciding if the defence will seek a preliminary hearing.
A preliminary hearing would determine if there is enough evidence against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to go forward with a trial.
Defendants can waive that step but Robinson's newly appointed attorney Kathryn Nester said her team did not intend to do so.
Utah prosecutors have charged Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty.
Both the defence and prosecution acknowledged at a brief hearing on Monday that the amount of evidence prosecutors have is "voluminous."
Robinson was not present for the hearing and appeared via audio from jail at his defence team’s request.
Judge Tony Graf set the next hearing for 30 October.
Defence attorneys for Robinson and prosecutors with the Utah County Attorney's Office declined to comment after Monday's hearing.
