STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME

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

I. STIPULATION

Defendant Montrell Roy by and through his counsel of record and plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, hereby stipulate that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for December 7, 2018, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on January 18, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.

This continuance is requested to investigate and evaluate the volume of discovery forthcoming in this case, meet with the client and further investigate possible defenses in this matter.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, October 29, 2018, up to and including January 18, 2019. IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's December 7, 2018 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on January 18, 2019. Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on October 29, 2018, through and including January 18, 2019.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
