[PROPOSED] STIPULATED ORDER EXCLUDING TIME FROM MAY 19, 2015 TO OCTOBER 19, 2015

WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.

Defendants James L. Sergent, represented by Daniel Blank, AFPD, and Monica Taylor, represented by Deborah G. Levine, Esq., and the government, represented by Hallie Hoffman, Assistant United States Attorney, appeared before the Court May 19, 2015 for a status hearing. The Court set the following dates in the matter: motions due on June 16, 2015; responses due on June 30, 2015; replies due on July 7, 2015; and the motions hearing on July 14, 2015 at 2:00 pm. Further, the Court set a trial date in this matter for October 19, 2015 and set the pre-trial conference to be held on October 7, 2015.

Counsel requested that time be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act between May 19, 2015 and October 19, 2015 because time is needed to review discovery, to evaluate and prepare motions if needed, and to conduct necessary investigation. The government stated it had no objection to excluding time.

Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between May 19, 2015 and October 19, 2015 would unreasonably deny the defendant continuity of counsel and would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time between May 19, 2015 and October 19, 2015 from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between May 19, 2015 and October 19, 2015 shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
