STIPULATION AND ORDER (PROPOSED) CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., Senior District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant, David J. Zappa, that the status conference scheduled for August 3, 2018, may be continued to September 21, 2018, at 9:00 a.m.

Defense counsel is completing computer forensic investigation and seeks additional time to consult with its expert, as well as additional time to consider the impact on the case of Carpenter v. United States, decided last month.

Accordingly, the parties agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date of this order through September 21, 2018, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv), to afford the parties adequate time for effective preparation and to assure continuity of counsel. The parties agree that the ends of justice served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and of Mr. Zappa in a speedy trial and ask the Court to so find.

ORDER

The status conference scheduled for August 3 is continued to September 21, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. The court finds that a continuance is necessary for the reasons stated above and that the ends of justice 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 September 21, 2018, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
