Lawyers for Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli filed documents requesting the government to turn over the evidence in the college admissions scam case against them.

Loughlin, 54, Giannulli, 55, and 15 other defendants claimed they haven't received any of the "extremely voluminous" evidence in their case, court documents obtained by Fox News allege.

The beleaguered couple's legal team have requested to suspend all motions in the case ahead of the next scheduled hearing, set for June 3, until they receive the prosecution's evidence for review.
