LAWRENCE K. KARLTON, Senior District Judge.
Plaintiff, United States of America, by and through its counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Jill Thomas, and defendant, Angela Shavlovsky, by and through her counsel, Erin J. Radekin, agree and stipulate to vacate the date set for status conference, July 22, 2014 at 9:15 a.m., in the above-captioned matter, and to continue the status conference to August 12, 2014 at 9:15 a.m. in the courtroom of the Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton.
The reason for this request is that additional time is needed by the defense to complete review of discovery, which is voluminous (discovery currently ends with item/page number 63026) and includes a number of recordings, and other defense preparation and investigation. Ms. Radekin was appointed in this matter on May 13, 2014. The Court is advised that Ms. Thomas concurs with this request and has authorized Ms. Radekin to sign this stipulation on her behalf.
The parties further agree and stipulate that the time period from the filing of this stipulation until August 12, 2014 should be excluded in computing time for commencement of trial under the Speedy Trial Act, based upon the interest of justice under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), and Local Code T4, to allow reasonable time necessary for effective defense preparation. It is further agreed and stipulated that the ends of justice served in granting the request outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request the Court adopt this proposed stipulation.
