STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING SETTING STATUS CONFERENCE

GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.

The United States of America, through its counsel Todd A. Pickles, and James Michael Wiley, through his counsel Clyde M. Blackmon, stipulate that the status conference currently scheduled for August 15, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. may be continued to October 17, 2014.

A continuance is necessary because James Michael Wiley has been indicted by a state grand jury in South Carolina. The parties understand that the allegations in that indictment are related to the allegations underlying the indictment in this case. Therefore, it appears that the resolution of the South Carolina case may affect the resolution of this matter, and counsel for the Government and for Mr. Wiley need more time to assess the situation in South Carolina.

The parties further stipulate that pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) time should be excluded from August 15, 2014, to October 17, 2014, to provide defense counsel with additional time, taking into account due diligence, in which to prepare, and that continuing the status conference for the reasons stated will serve the ends of justice and outweighs the best interests of the public and of Mr. Wiley.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING upon the stipulation of the parties, it is ordered that the status conference now scheduled for August 15, 2014, is continued to 9:00 a.m. on October 17, 2014.

Based on the representation of the parties that additional time is required for adequate preparation by counsel, time is excluded from August 15, 2014, to October 17, 2014, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) (Local Code T4) and the Court finds that the continuance of this case to October 17, 2014, serves the ends of justice and outweighs the best interests of the public and of James Michael Wiley.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
