STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION (4th REQUEST)

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney, and Nadia Ahmed, Special Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Paul Riddle, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for defendant Pedro Luis Saldana, that the Preliminary Examination currently set for Monday, October 5, 2015 at 4:00 p.m., be vacated and continued for thirty (30) days or to a date and time convenient to the Court.

This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. The parties are in the process of negotiating a resolution of the case that would obviate the need for trial. The parties need additional time to do so.

2. The Defendant is in federal custody and in the process of being transported by the United States Marshal service to this district.

3. Denial of this request for a continuance would prejudice both the Defendant and the Government and unnecessarily consume this Court's valuable resources, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

4. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.

5. The additional time requested by this stipulation, is excludable in computing the time within which the defendant must be indicted and the trial herein must commence pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and § 3161(h)(8)(A), considering the factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(I) and (iv).

6. This is the fourth request for a continuance of the preliminary examination in this case.

ORDER CONTINUING PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

Based on the pending stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the court hereby finds that:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline to continue the preliminary examination, currently scheduled for October 5, 2015, at the hour of 4:00 p.m., is continued to November 5, 2015. at 4:00 p.m.
