[PROPOSED] ORDER EXCLUDING TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT FROM MAY 29, 2019, THROUGH JULY 10, 2019

EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.

The parties appeared before the Court on May 29, 2019, for an initial status conference. The defendant was present and represented by Chief Assistant Federal Public Defender Geoffrey Hansen. Assistant United States Attorney Sloan Heffron appeared for the government.

Mr. Heffron stated that the government made its initial production of discovery to the defense earlier in the day. Mr. Hansen acknowledged receipt of the discovery provided by the government and said additional time was needed to review this discovery and ensure the effective preparation of counsel. Mr. Heffron did not oppose this request. The parties agreed to return before the Court on July 10, 2019, at 2:30 p.m. for either a change of plea hearing or trial setting. The parties also agreed that time should be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act from May 29, 2019, through July 10, 2019, to ensure the effective preparation of counsel.

Based on the assertions and agreement of the parties on May 29, 2019, as described herein, and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude time from May 29, 2019, through July 10, 2019, would deny defense counsel and the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time between May 29, 2019, and July 10, 2019, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time from May 29, 2019, through July 10, 2019, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
