STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; FINDINGS AND ORDER
TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
STIPULATION
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through defendant's counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on July 19, 2018.
2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until August 16, 2018, at 9:30 a.m., and to exclude time between July 19, 2018, and August 16, 2018, under Local Code T4.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a) The government has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes hundreds of pages of discovery, audio files, a video file and forensic analyses of seized electronic devices. That discovery has either been produced directly to counsel and/or made available for inspection and copying.
b) In addition to that discovery, the government has produced other discovery, including reports regarding incidents triggering U.S.S.G. § 4B1.5. The government has also made available for review other discovery related to possible incidents triggering U.S.S.G. § 4B1.5.
c) For effective preparation, counsel for defendant needs more time to conduct additional specific legal research regarding the alleged offense conduct.
d) Counsel for defendant has also filed a motion to dismiss the superseding indictment, and the United States needs time to respond.
e) Counsel for 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. The continuance will further achieve continuity of counsel.
f) The government does not object to the continuance.
g) 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.
h) 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 July 19, 2018 to August 16, 2018, 2018 inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] and pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(D) [Local Code E], 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.
FINDINGS AND ORDER
IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED.
