STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXCLUDING TIME FROM NOVEMBER 15, 2012 THROUGH NOVEMBER 26, 2012, AND CONTINUING PRELIMINARY HEARING UNTIL DECEMBER 14, 2012

LAUREL BEELER, Magistrate Judge.

The defendant, MICHAEL LINDSAY, represented by EDWARD HU, and the government, represented by OWEN P. MARTIKAN, Assistant United States Attorney, hereby stipulate and ask the Court to exclude the time between November 15, 2012, and November 26, 2012, under the Speedy Trial Act based on continuity of defense counsel, the necessity for defense counsel's effective preparation through review of discovery and due to the government's pending motion for detention. The parties stipulate that, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, the ends of justice served by excluding the time between November 15, 2012, and November 26, 2012, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweighed the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

The parties further stipulate that for the same reasons, good cause exists to continue the time for preliminary hearing under Fed. Crim P. Rule 5.1 from November 26, 2012, until December 14, 2012.

SO STIPULATED:

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between November 15, 2012, and November 26, 2012, would unreasonably deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation through the review of discovery, and would deny the defense continuity of counsel, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and that the ends of justice served by excluding this time outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The Court also finds that this time should be excluded based on the pendency of the government's motion for detention.

The Court further finds, based on the same reasons, that the time for preliminary hearing pursuant to Fed. Crim. P. Rule 5.1 should be continued until December 14, 2012.

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between November 15, 2012, and November 26, 2012, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act, and that the time for preliminary hearing shall be continued until December 14, 2012. 18 U.S.C. §§ and (B)(iv); Fed. Crim. P. Rule 5.1.
