If the Defendant is in custody, the Government shall take all necessary actions to secure the timely presence of the Defendant at all Court proceedings.

The Court concludes that the period of delay as to co-Defendant Serrano-Ramirez is excludable under the Speedy Trial Act. The Act excludes "a reasonable period of delay when the defendant is joined for trial with a co-defendant as to whom the time for trial has not run and no motion for severance has been granted." 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(6). Accordingly, the period of time from November 22, 2017, through February 3, 2018, is excluded from the computation of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
