STIPULATION AND ORDER (PROPOSED) CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

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

It is hereby stipulated and agreed between defendant, Roger Bartlett, and plaintiff, United States of America, that the status conference scheduled for August 25, 2017, may be continued to September 29, 2017, at 9:00 a.m.

Defense counsel has provided additional legal authorities to the U.S. Attorney's Office to review in connection with his proposal to resolve the case. The government has requested additional time to review the defense's authorities. The parties agree they need additional time to consider their options for resolving the case. For these reasons, the parties agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded through September 29, 2017, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv), to afford the parties adequate time for effective preparation and to assure continuity of counsel. The parties agree that the ends of justice served by a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Mr. Bartlett in a speedy trial and ask the Court to so find.

ORDER

The status conference scheduled for August 25 is continued to September 29, 2017, at 9:00 a.m. The Court finds that a continuance is necessary for the reasons stated above and that the ends of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Mr. Bartlett in a speedy trial. Time is therefore excluded from the date of this order through September 29, 2017, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
