STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; FINDINGS AND ORDER

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

Defendant A Vern Saeteurn, by and through Linda M. Parisi, his counsel of record, and plaintiff, by and through its counsel, Vincenza Rabenn, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous stipulation, this matter was set for a Status Conference on December 19, 2019.

2. By this stipulation, the defendant now moves to continue the Status Conference until January 16, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. and to exclude time between December 19, 2019 and January 16, 2020 and under Local Code T4. The United States does not oppose this request.

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

a. Counsel for Mr. Saeteurn need additional to review and confer with client regarding the plea agreement, review discovery and conduct additional research.

b. Defense counsel and the US Attorney have been discussing a resolution to the case and need further time to resolve the matter.

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

c. The United States Attorney agrees to the continuance.

d. All counsel agrees to the continuance.

e. 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 December 19, 2019 and January 16, 2020, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local CodeT4] 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.

ORDER

Based on the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on December 11, 2019, and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Status Conference currently set for December 19, 2019, be vacated and that the Status Conference be set for January 16, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' December 11, 2019 stipulation, the time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded during the time period of December 19, 2019 and January 16, 2020, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code 25.
