STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY HEARING AND EXCLUSION OF TIME

ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, United States of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Grant Rabenn, and Defendants, Jabari Monson, through his attorney Lexi P. Negin, Assistant Federal Defender and Saudia Monson, through her attorney, Michael Long, hereby stipulate to continue the Preliminary Hearing set for May 7, 2019 to June 18, 2019, at 2:00 p.m.

The parties agree that the time beginning May 7, 2019 extending through June 18, 2019, should be excluded from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. Further, the Defendants consent to an extension of the time for a Preliminary Hearing until June 18, 2019. Fed.R.Crim.P. 5.1(d). The parties submit that the ends of justice are served by the Court excluding such time, so that they may have reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). In particular, the time is required so that the parties can conduct investigation and review discovery. Mr. Monson and Mrs. Monson consent to this continuance.

The parties stipulate that the interests of justice outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and (h)(7)(A), and further that this good cause outweighs the public's interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases. Fed.R.Crim.P. 5.1(d).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Court has read and considered the Stipulation to Continue the Preliminary Hearing Pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) and Exclusion of Time. The Court finds that the Defendants consent to the extension of time for the Preliminary Hearing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure, Rule 5.1(d). The Court hereby finds that the Stipulation, which this Court incorporates by reference into this Order, demonstrates good cause for an extension of time for the preliminary hearing date pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Furthermore, for the reasons set forth in the parties' stipulation, the Court finds that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T4. The Court further finds that the extension of time would not adversely affect the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases.

THEREFORE, FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN:

1. The preliminary hearing is continued to June 18, 2019, at 2:00 p.m.

2. The time between May 7, 2019, and June 18, 2019, shall be excluded from calculation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T4.

3. Defendants shall appear at that date and time before the Magistrate Judge on duty.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
