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

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

Defendant Alfred Tribbey, by and through Linda M. Parisi, his counsel of record, and plaintiff, by and through its counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Jason Hitt, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on June 17, 2016.

2. By this stipulation, the defendants now moves to continue the status conference until September 2, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. and to exclude time between June 17, 2016 and September 2, 2016 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 related documents.

b. Counsel for Mr. Tribbey need additional time for investigation and to discuss potential resolutions.

c. Defense counsel and the US Attorney have been discussing a resolution to the case and need further time to resolve the matter.

d. Counsel for Mr. Tribbey 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. 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 June 17, 2016 to September 2, 2016, 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 defendant's 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.

ORDER

Based on the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on April 6, 2016, and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status conference currently set for June 17, 2016, be vacated and that a status conference be set for September 2, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' stipulation, the time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded during the time period of June 17, 2016, through and including September 2, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code 25.
