STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated and agreed between defendant, Alex Peterson, and plaintiff, United States of America, that the status conference scheduled for April 19, 2018, may be continued to May 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.

The government recently provided discovery but defense counsel seeks time to review the discovery in detail with Mr. Peterson. The defense is also ordering records and will need additional time to review and evaluate them once received. The parties ask the Court to continue the status conference to May 17, 2018, and to exclude time through that date to give them adequate time to prepare, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv). The parties agree that the interests of justice to be served by this continuance outweigh the best interests of Mr. Peterson and the public in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to so find.

ORDER

The status conference set for April 19, 2018, is continued to May 17, 2018, at 10:00 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 granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is therefore excluded from the date of this order through May 17, 2018, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
