STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE, AND TO EXCLUDE TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Phillip A. Talbert, United States Attorney, through Samuel Wong, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Todd David Leras, attorney for Zachery Joseph Bastien, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Hannah R. Labaree, attorneys for Alyssa Nakamura Price, that the status conference scheduled for September 15, 2017 be vacated and continued to November 3, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.

The reasons for the continuance are that the defense teams are continuing to review the discovery in this case; are investigating the facts; and are conducting further legal research. To date, the Government has produced 1,225 pages of discovery. Defense counsel is continuing to review with due diligence.

Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date of the parties' stipulation, September 13, 2017, through and including November 3, 2017, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4 based upon defense preparation.

ORDER

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds the ends of justice are served by granting the requested continuance and outweigh the best interests of the public and defendants in a speedy trial.

The Court orders the time from the date the parties stipulated, September 13, 2017, up to and including November 3, 2017, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and(B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further ordered the September 15, 2017 status conference shall be continued until November 3, 2017, at 9:00 a.m.
