STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE, AND TO EXCLUDE TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT STIPULATION

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through his counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on September 26, 2013.

2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until January 23, 2014, and to exclude time between September 26, 2013, and January 23, 2014, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.

3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:

a. The Government has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes approximately 3,850 pages. Additionally, over 7,000 pages of discovery are expected to be provided by the Government in two related cases (U.S. v. Mysin, et al. (Case No. 2:12-CR-00051-MCE)), and Mr. Hansen needs time to review that discovery, as well.

b. Counsel for defendant desires additional time to review discovery with the defendant, to examine possible defenses and to continue investigating the facts of the case.

c. Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

d. The Government does not object to the continuance.

e. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.

f. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. section 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of September 26, 2013, to January 23, 2014, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Based on the parties' stipulations, the next status conference will be set for January 23, 2014 at 9 am in Courtroom 7.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
