STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant Kevin Webber, through their respective attorneys, that the status conference scheduled for August 25, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. may be continued to October 27, 2014 at 9:30 a.m..
Counsel for defendant Webber has obtained a psychological evaluation of Mr. Webber, who has been diagnosed as suffering from the developmental disorder of autism, which had never been diagnosed or treated previously. Based on the underlying facts of this case, Mr. Webber's undiagnosed autism and its effect on his personality and actions, counsel for the government and for the defendant have agreed to Pre-Trial Diversion for Mr. Webber. Counsel for the government is now initiating the Pre-Trial Diversion process. Both sides need a bit more time to accomplish the steps necessary to finalize it.
Additionally, counsel for Mr. Webber starts a murder trial in state court on September 24, 2014 which is scheduled to last approximately three weeks, People v. Terry Shorts, 12F02050. The case has been pre-assigned to The Honorable Michael A. Savage.
In order to finalize everything necessary to accomplish Pre-Trial Diversion for Mr. Webber and to accommodate the trial schedule of his attorney, the parties agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded through October 27, 2014, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
