STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; ORDER
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.
With the Court's permission, defendant Hector Absi and plaintiff United States of America, by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on December 14, 2017;
2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until February 8, 2018, and to exclude time between December 14, 2017, and February 8, 2018, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The discovery associated with this case includes email correspondence, interviews, corporate records, and other documents. The first and second production constituted over a million pages of discovery and the most recent production constituted approximately 3,300 pages.
b. Counsel for defendant desires additional time to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to review and copy discovery for this matter and to otherwise prepare for trial.
c. Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny him/her the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
d. The government does not object to the continuance.
e. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed under the Speedy Trial Act.
f. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which the trial date must commence, the time period of December 14, 2017 to February 8, 2018, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) and 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.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
