STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXCLUDING TIME UNDER 18 U.S.C. § 3161

RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.

The parties in this case appeared before the Court on April 15, 2014. At that time, the parties represented that additional time would be required to conduct investigations and reach a possible resolution to the case. As a result, the Court set the matter to May 20, 2014.

The parties have agreed to exclude the period of time between April 15, 2014, and May 20, 2014, from any time limits applicable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161. The parties agreed that granting the exclusion would allow the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties also agreed that the ends of justice served by granting such an exclusion of time outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). At the hearing, the Court made findings consistent with this agreement.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

For the reasons stated above and at the April 15, 2014, hearing, the Court finds that the exclusion from the time limits applicable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161 of the period from April 15, 2014, to May 20, 2014, is warranted and that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). Denying the requested exclusion of time would deprive the parties of the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
