STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXCLUDE TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

On January 5, 2018, the parties appeared before this Court for an initial status conference. With the agreement of the parties, the Court enters this order documenting the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A), and (h)(7)(B)(iv), from January 5, 2018, to February 9, 2018. The parties agreed to the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act to allow effective preparation of defense counsel, including to review discovery to be produced shortly by the government. For this reason, the parties agree that time is excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A), and (h)(7)(B)(iv).

Given these circumstances, the Court found that the ends of justice served by excluding the period from January 5, 2018 to February 9, 2018, from Speedy Trial Act calculations outweighs the interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), and (h)(7)(B)(iv).

ORDER

Based on the reasons provided in the stipulation of the parties above, the Court hereby FINDS that for adequate preparation of the case by defense counsel, and in the interest of justice, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sections 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), an exclusion of time is warranted under the Speedy Trial Act. Based on these findings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT time is excluded until February 9, 2018.

IT SO ORDERED.
