STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Roger Yang, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, together with Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant James Hitt, that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for September 23, 2016, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on November 18, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.
This continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to perform defense investigation and consult with his client. The forensic review of the evidence was conducted on May 17 &18, 2016 and additional time is needed to follow up with the expert. The evidence seized with the investigating officer was also reviewed by counsel and more time is needed to brief the client and his family on the ramifications of the expert's work and the evidence seized.
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 21, 2016 up to and including November 18, 2016.
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 23, 2016 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on November 18, 2016 at 9:00 am.
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 21, 2016 through and including November 18, 2016.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
