Ms McNally, 32, was stabbed at her home in Silverwood Green, Lurgan, on the night of December 18.
The case was briefly mentioned at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Friday.
A prosecutor asked for a further four weeks, saying the prosecution file "will not be due for some time".

The judge said she intends to keep an eye on progress with the file.
The case is next due to be mentioned on April 21 when the prosecution is expected to give a date for when the file will be ready.
An earlier court hearing was told that McCullagh was a YouTuber and that police believe he faked a videogaming livestream to provide an alibi on the night he is accused of killing the expectant mother.
He was arrested the day after Ms McNally was killed but released and ruled out as a suspect. He was rearrested on January 31.
