Greiner representing Jason Siegfried, hereby agree and stipulate to the following1:

1- By previous order, this matter was set for status on Friday, December 7, 2012, see docket number 331.

2. By this Stipulation, the defendants collectively now move to continue the status conference until Thursday, March 14, 2013 and to exclude time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act between Friday, December 7, 2012 and Thursday, March 14, 2013, under Local Codes T-2 (complexity) and T-4 (time for adequate attorney preparation). The government is producing more discovery in the case and does not oppose this request.

3. The parties agree and stipulate to the following and request the Court to find the following:

a. The government has produced discovery to date which consists of 5 (five) discovery CD's labeled Discovery Disk 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and 6 (six) wire tape CD's labeled TT1, TT2, TT3, TT4, TT5 and TT6. The government has also made available for copying onto an external hard drive the pole camera evidence.

b. The government by way of letter dated November 30, 2012, addressed to all defense counsel, is producing the following additional discovery contained on 4 (four) CD's: BATES numbers DD-007532 to DD-007570; Bates number DD-7571 (reproduction of wiretap—TT#1); Bates number DD-007572 (reproduction of wiretap—TT#2); Bates number DD-007573 (reproduction of wiretaps—TT#3, tt#4, TT#5, and TT#6).

c. Counsel for all defendants need additional time, first to obtain the additional discovery made available by letter on November 30, 2012; second counsel for all defendants need additional time to review all of the discovery which includes the additional discovery, review the all the discovery with their respective clients, to conduct investigation into this case, do research, which includes legal research, in this case, and to otherwise do review and investigation, using due diligence, that this complex case requires.

d. Counsel for all defendants represents that the failure to grant the above requested continuance would deny counsel for each individual defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

e. The government, based on all of the above, does not object to the continuance.

f. Based on the above stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and all the defendants in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.

g. For the purpose of computing the time under the Speedy Trial Act, Title 18 U.S.C. section 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period from Thursday, September 6, 2012 to Thursday, March 14, 2013, inclusive, is deemed excludable purseant to Title 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(A, (B)(ii) and (iv) corresponding to Local Codes T-2 and T-4, because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendants' 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.

Each attorney has granted James R. Greiner full authority to sign for each individual attorney.

ORDER

IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED. The status conference in this matter is continued until March 14, 2013, at 9 a.m. The time period between December 7, 2012 and March 14, 2013 is excluded under Local Codes T-2 and T-4.
