CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its attorney of record, Assistant United States Attorney AMANDA BECK, and defendant CODY BOYD, both individually and by and through his counsel of record, ALEXANDRA NEGIN, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. The Complaint in this case was filed on March 23, 2018, and defendant first appeared before a judicial officer of the Court in which the charges in this case were pending on March 27, 2018.

2. The current preliminary hearing date is May 8, 2018.

3. By this stipulation, the parties jointly move for an extension of time of the preliminary hearing date to May 10, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., before the duty Magistrate Judge, pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The parties stipulate that the delay is required to allow the defense reasonable time for preparation, and for the government's continuing investigation of the case. The parties further agree that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

4. The parties agree that good cause exists for the extension of time, and that the extension of time would not adversely affect the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases. Therefore, the parties request that the time between May 8, 2018, and May 10, 2018, be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T-4.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
