RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.
On February 7, 2017, the parties in the above-captioned matter, through defense counsel Lee Rubin and AUSA Hartley West, appeared before the Court for status and trial setting. The Court set a trial date of June 19, 2017, with a pretrial conference date of June 7, 2017. The parties and Court agreed that it was appropriate to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act until June 19, 2017, for effective preparation of the defense and to secure service of a trial subpoena on a defense witness who is a U.S. citizen residing in Switzerland.
SO STIPULATED.
Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between February 7 and June 19, 2017, 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 February 7 and June 19, 2017, 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 February 7 and June 19, 2017, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
