DEBORAH BARNES, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through defendant's counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter is scheduled for a trial confirmation hearing on June 27, 2017, a hearing on motions in limine on July 10, 2017, and a jury trial on July 24, 2017.
2. Since the last status conference in this case, the United States learned that one of its key trial witnesses will be in mandatory military training during the months of July and August 2017 and, therefore, is unable to attend a trial in this matter during those months. Additionally, the parties are still in the process of exchanging discovery and other information that will be relevant to trial preparation or a potential resolution in this case. Given these circumstances, the parties seek to continue the trial date and related hearings as set forth below.
3. By this stipulation, the parties now jointly move to continue the trial, trial confirmation, and motion hearing dates as follows. The parties also now jointly move for the Court to set the following briefing schedule concerning motions.
4. It is further stipulated that the time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq., be excluded from computation of time pursuant to § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv), and Local Code T4. Further, the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendant further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED, that the trial and hearing dates are continued and set as set forth above. The Court further finds that time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq., be excluded from computation of time pursuant to § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv), and Local Code T4, and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
FOUND AND ORDERED.
