STIPULATION AND ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

Plaintiff, United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and the Defendant, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. Attorney Whitworth needs additional time to review and finalize preparation of potential immigration consequences of proposed disposition and finalize review of discovery with client and immigration Counsel. Additional time is needed to review consequences, receive advice with client and immigration attorney located in North Carolina [and as a courtesy and in preparation for potential sentencing consequences and support — The family.]

2. By this stipulation, the defendant now moves to continue the status conference until October 17, 2019 at 9 am, and to exclude time between September 19, 2019 at 9 am and October 17, 2019 at 9 am, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.

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

a. The government has provided discovery associated with this case.

b. Counsel for the defendant desire time to consult with their client, to review the current charges, to conduct and finish investigation and research related to the charges, to review and copy discovery for these matters and to discuss potential resolutions with their client.

Counsel for the defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny them the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

d. The government does not object to the continuance.

e. 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.

f. 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 September 19, 2019, to October 17, 2019, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

4. 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

ORDER

The status conference is continued to October 17, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. The court finds that a continuance is necessary for the reasons stated above and that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is therefore excluded from September 19, 2019, through October 17, 2019, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
