STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through JEAN HOBLER, Assistant U.S. Attorney and defendant NICHOLAS TEAUSANT by and through his counsel, MATTHEW SCOBLE and BENJAMIN GALLOWAY, Assistant Federal Defenders, that the status conference set for May 12, 2015, be continued to August 4, 2015 at 9:15 a.m.

The reasons for this continuance are as follows. First, the case has previously been designated complex, and the parties continue to work through the issues that render it complex. Second, more time is needed for the defense to continue reviewing the large volume of discovery provided to date. Finally, the government has advised that another discovery production is forthcoming in the near future, which will necesitate additional time to review.

The parties stipulate that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial, so that counsel for the defendant may have reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] (Local Code T-4); for complexity under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(ii) and (Local Code T-2).

ORDER

The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.

The Court orders that the time from the date of the parties stipulation, up to and including August 4, 2015, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] (Local Code T-4); for complexity under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(ii) and (Local Code T-2). It is further ordered that the May 12, 2015 status conference shall be continued until August 4, 2015, at 9:15 a.m.
