STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Josh Sigal, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, and Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant, Frederick Simonelli, that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for September 25, 2014, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on November 13, 2014 at 9:30 a.m.

This continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to finalize review of the discovery, engage experts, met with his client, investigate possible defenses and to continue exploring the facts of the case. In addition, there is a plea agreement which will have to be triaged with my client.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, September 22, 2014, up to and including November 13, 2014.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's September 25, 2014 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on November 13, 2014, at 9:30 a.m.

Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on September 22, 2104 through and including November 13, 2014 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv) and corresponding Local Code T-4.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
