STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING MATTER AND EXCLUDING TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

The parties appeared before the Honorable Jon S. Tigar on November 30, 2018, for an initial status conference. At the parties' joint request, the matter was continued to January 4, 2018, at 9:30 a.m. for change of plea.

The government stated that it has produced the discovery in the case. Defense counsel is reviewing that discovery and will be unavailable for part of December. Therefore the parties stipulated, and the Court ordered, that time between November 30, 2018 and January 4, 2019, be excluded for effective preparation of counsel and continuity of counsel, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).

The parties further stipulate, and ask the Court to find, that the requested continuance and exclusion of time are in the interests of justice and outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

SO STIPULATED.

For the reasons stated, this matter is continued until January 4, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. The time between November 30, 2018 and January 4, 2019, is excluded from the running of the speedy trial clock for effective preparation and continuity of counsel under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Failure to grant the continuance would deny the defendant's counsel the reasonable time necessary to prepare and deny defendant continuity of counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
