STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERNCE

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

It is hereby stipulated between the parties, Jason Hitt, Assistant United States Attorney, and Michael Chastaine, attorney for Terry Graham, that the status conference date of Thursday June 4, 2015 should be continued until Thursday July 30, 2015. The continuance is necessary as the Government has provided the defense six (6) CD's containing in excess of 2800 pages of discovery. The defense needs time to review said discovery, and discuss it with Mr. Graham in order to prepare his case. As a result of the review of the discovery, additional investigation may be necessary and Counsel will need time to determine the best course of action to proceed and present a defense for Mr. Graham.

In addition, counsel for Mr. Graham will be in a Federal trial before Judge Nunley from June 22, 2015 to approximately mid-July, 2015.

The Government does not object to the requested continuance.

IT IS STIPULATED that the period of time from the Thursday June 4, 2015 up to and including July 30, 2015 be excluded in computing the time within which the trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7) and Local Code T4, for ongoing preparation of counsel. It is further stipulated that the need for a continuance and continued counsel preparation outweighs the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
