STIPULATION AND ORDER DOCUMENTING WAIVER OF TIME UNDER RULE 5.1 AND EXCLUSIO OF TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

MARIA-ELENA JAMES, Magistrate Judge.

The Court has set July 27, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. as the date for a preliminary hearing or arraignment. The parties wish to keep that date on the Court's calendar for a detention hearing or bond setting. However, the parties hereby stipulate to continue the preliminary hearing or arraignment that is scheduled for that date to August 24, 2016, at 9:30 a.m., and they request that the Court extend the time limits provided by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1(c). This extension oftime is needed for the parties to explore possible pre-indictment resolution and for effective preparation of counsel. Taking into account the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases, the parties agree that these grounds are good cause for extending the time limits for a preliminary hearing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1 from July 27, 2016, to August 24, 2016.

Pursuant to Rule 5.1 (d), the defendant and the government consent to the extension of time, and the parties represent that good cause exists for this extension, including the effective preparation of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv). For the same reasons, the parties also request that the Court exclude from the time limits of 18 U.S.C. § 3161 the period from the date of this order through August 24, 2016. The parties also agree that the ends of justice served by granting such an exclusion of time outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. See 18 U.S. C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

SO STIPULATED:

[PROPOSED] ORDER

For the reasons stated above, the Court sets August 24, 2016, as the date for the arraignment or preliminary hearing. The Court finds that extension of time limits applicable under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1(c) from the date of this order through August 24, 2016, is warranted; that exclusion ofthis period from the time limits applicable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161 is warranted; that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in the prompt disposition of this criminal case; and that the failure to grant the requested exclusion of time would deny counsel for the defendant and for the government the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation of counsel, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and would result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).

The parties are nevertheless ordered to appear on July 27, 2016, for a detention hearing or bond setting.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
