STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND TO EXTEND TIME UNDER RULE 5.1 AND WAIVE TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.
The defendant, Michael Lee Thomas, represented by Shaffy Moeel, Esquire, and the government, represented by Kelsey Linnett, Special Assistant United States Attorney, jointly request a continuance in the above-captioned matter.
Mr. Thomas is currently set to appear before the Honorable Kandis A. Westmore on July 17, 2015. Counsel for the defendant is travelling and unavailable on July 17, 2015. Consequently, the parties respectfully request that the status conference that is currently set for July 17, 2015, be continued to July 24, 2015, before the Honorable Donna M. Ryu.
The parties hereby stipulate and agree that good cause exists to extend time for a preliminary hearing under Rule 5.1(d), specifically by excluding the time between July 17, 2015 and July 24, 2015 from calculation of the scheduling of a preliminary hearing under Rule 5.1(c). Furthermore, the defendant also agrees to toll and to waive for this period of time any time limits applicable under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161. The parties agree and stipulate that defense counsel needs additional time to meet with her client to review discovery and discuss plea negotiations in the case and that an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act for continuity of counsel and effective preparation of counsel is warranted pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) between July 17, 2015, and July 24, 2015.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
DATED:
KELSEY LINNETT
Special Assistant United States Attorney

IT IS SO ORDERED.
