STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; [PROPOSED] FINDINGS AND ORDER STIPULATION

GARIAND E. BURRELL, Jr., District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendants Tina Marie Bini and Matthew Lee Boyle, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on January 24, 2014.

2. By this stipulation, defendants now move to continue the status conference until March 21, 2014 and to exclude time between January 24, 2014 and March 21, 2014 under Local Code T4. The United States does not oppose this request.

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

a) The United States has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes investigative reports and wiretap applications in electronic form constituting approximately 800 pages of documents. All of this discovery has been produced directly to counsel.

b) Further, the United States anticipates making a further production of documents and audio recordings, including intercepted communications, within the next few weeks which are anticipated to be voluminous.

c) Counsel for defendants desire additional time to consult with their clients, to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to review discovery for this matter, to discuss potential resolutions with their clients, and to otherwise prepare for trial.

d) Counsel for defendants believe 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.

e) The United States 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 the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.

g) 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 January 24, 2014 to March 21, 2014, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] 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.

IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED.
