STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERNCE

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., Senior District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated between the parties, Paul Hemesath, Assistant United States Attorney, Ben Galloway, attorney for Marina Dushenko, and Michael Chastaine, attorney for Stanislov Carpenco, that the status conference date of Friday, December 15. 2017 should be continued until Friday, February 2, 2018. The continuance is necessary in that the defense needs additional time to review the discovery (including new developments in the case), complete investigation and go over it with their respective clients.

IT IS STIPULATED that the period of time from the December 15, 2017 up to and including February 2, 2018 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.
