STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING PRELIMINARY HEARING OR ARRAIGNMENT DATE AND WAIVING TIME UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT TO MAY 29, 2015

KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.

With the agreement of the parties, and with the consent of the defendant, the Court enters this order pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1(d) continuing the arraignment or preliminary hearing date for Defendant Joseph Conner to May 29, 2015, at 9:30 a.m. before the Honorable Kandis A. Westmore. Counsel for the defendant believes that postponing the preliminary hearing is in his client's best interest and that it is not in his client's best interest for the United States to present an indictment before the current May 4, 2015 preliminary hearing date. The parties agree that, taking into account the public interest in prompt disposition of criminal cases, good cause exists for this extension.

Defendant also agrees to toll and to waive for this period of time any time limits applicable under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161. The parties agree and stipulate that, having been recently retained in this matter, defense counsel needs time to further investigate this matter, review discovery, and confer with the defendant, and that an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act for effective preparation of counsel is warranted pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv). Undersigned defense counsel represents that he has spoken with his client, and that Mr. Conner agrees to the continuance and to time being tolled and waived as requested.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
