STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE BRIEFING SCHEDULE RE: DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SUPPRESS STATEMENTS AND EVIDENCE

DALE A. DROZD, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, through their respective counsel, that the briefing schedule for Defendant's motion to suppress statements and evidence be continued to permit the parties additional time to meet and confer regarding a possible plea agreement.

The parties propose the following amended briefing schedule:

The parties are actively discussing the terms of a possible resolution. In order to avoid unnecessary docketing/withdrawals the parties believe a continuance of the briefing schedule is appropriate, as the matter will become moot should the Defendant elect to accept the Government's offer, once finalized.

The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interests of justice, including but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation and plea negotiations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(i) and (iv).

Time has previously been excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., through the July 23, 2018 hearing for inter alia defense trial preparation.

Based upon the forgoing, the parties hereby request that the briefing schedule in this matter be continued as set forth above.

ORDER

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the briefing schedule for Defendant's motion to suppress statements and evidence is continued as follows:

Time shall be excluded through September 24, 2018 for defense preparation and plea negotiations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(i) and (iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
