STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; [PROPOSED] FINDINGS AND ORDER

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between defendants Gloria Harris and Lavonda Bailey, by and through their undersigned defense counsel, and the United States of America, by and through its counsel, Christopher Hales, Assistant United States Attorney, that the status conference currently set for October 11, 2019 should be continued until November 15, 2019, and to exclude time between October 11, 2019 and November 16, 2019, under Local Code T4.

The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:

1. The government has provided discovery associated with this case, which is voluminous — i.e. approximately 14,000 pages, plus media materials, to defense counsel. Counsel for Harris was substituted in for original counsel and has not been counsel of record the entire time since the filing of the indictment and thus have had more limited time to prepare. 2. Given the volume of discovery, defense counsel for defendants require additional time to review the discovery in this matter, to consult with their respective clients and to conduct any necessary investigation and research related to the charges, to evaluate possible settlement, to continue in ongoing settlement negotiations, and to otherwise prepare for trial. 3. Counsel for defendants believe that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 4. The government is unopposed to the requested continuance. 5. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act. 6. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of October 11, 2019 to November 15, 2019, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at counsel's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 7. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence. IT IS SO STIPULATED. Respectfully submitted, Dated: October 7, 2019 /s/ Steven B. Plesser STEVEN B. PLESSER Attorney for Gloria Harris Dated: October 7, 2019 /s/ Steven B. Plesser For CHRISTOPHER HALES Assistant U.S. Attorney Attorney for the United States Dated: October 7, 2019 /s/ Steven B. Plesser For ROBERT WILSON Attorney for Lavonda Bailey

FINDINGS and ORDER

IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED.
