STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

STIPULATION

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on May 17, 2018.

2. By this stipulation, defendant Ruvila Elizabeth Lima,1 through her respective counsel of record, now moves to continue the status conference until August 2, 2018, and to exclude time between May 17, 2018, and August 2, 2018, under Local Code T4.

3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:

a) The United States has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes, collectively, investigative reports, electronic discovery obtained from the search of various electronic devices, records from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and records from telephone providers and banks that exceed 2,000 pages, all of which is subject to a protective order.

b) Counsel for defendant desires additional time to continue to review discovery, consult with her client, to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to discuss potential resolutions with her client, to prepare pretrial motions, and to otherwise prepare for trial.

c) Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

d) The United States 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 by 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 trial must commence, the time period of May 17, 2018 to August 2, 2018, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [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.
