STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER CONTINUING THE STATUS CONFERENCE SET FOR JUNE 23, 2017 TO AUGUST 25, 2017 AT 9:00 A.M.
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between the defendants, Kioni Dogan, Gloria Harris, and Lavonda Bailey, by and through their undersigned defense counsel, and the United States of America, by and through its counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Dolan, that the status conference presently set for June 23, 2017 should be continued to August 25, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., and that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from June 23, 2017 through August 25, 2017.
The reason for the continuance is that Mr. Locke and other defense counsel need additional time to review the discovery and to conduct investigation. There are over 14,000 pages of discovery and multiple search warrants were executed in this case. At the request of the defense, the government is working on providing a spreadsheet detailing the loss amounts for each defendant. While the defense will continue to review the discovery that has been provided, and conduct their own independent investigation, further information from the government will greatly decrease the amount of analysis required to assess the case and determine what further defense investigation is necessary. The exclusion of time is also necessary to ensure continuity of counsel. Accordingly, the time between June 23, 2017 and August 25, 2017 should be excluded from the Speedy Trial calculation pursuant to Title 18, States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T-4 for defense preparation. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A). Mr. Dolan, Mr. Foster and Mr. Wilson have authorized Mr. Locke to sign this pleading for them.
The Court finds, for the reasons stated above, that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, and, therefore.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
