STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE, SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE, AND EXCLUDING TIME
GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., District Judge.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed between defendant, Kulwant Singh Sandhu, and plaintiff, United States of America, that the that the status conference scheduled for May 20, 2016, may be continued to August 12, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The parties also ask the Court to schedule briefing and hearing on a motion to dismiss the indictment, as follows:
1. Motion due June 24, 2016.
2. Opposition due July 22, 2016.
3. Reply due August 5, 2016.
4. Hearing on motion & status conference August 12, 2016.
Defense counsel seeks additional time to complete research and writing of the motion to dismiss. The parties therefore ask the Court to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act from the date of this order through August 12, 2016, and agree that failure to grant this continuance would deny them the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv)[Local Code T4]. The parties recognize that time is automatically excluded upon filing of the motion. See id. at (h)(1)(D). The parties agree that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and of Mr. Sandhu in a speedy trial and ask the Court to so find.
ORDER
The status conference is continued to August 12, 2016. The proposed schedule for briefing on a motion to dismiss is adopted and hearing on the motion is scheduled for August 12, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The court finds that a continuance is necessary for the reasons stated above and that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Time is therefore excluded from the date of this order through August 12, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
