STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXLCUDING TIME

RICHARD SEABORG, District Judge.

On November 7, 2017, defendant and his attorneys appeared before this Court. The parties agreed that additional time was necessary to meet with the case agent and review extensive amount of discovery that could only be viewed at the FBI's office in San Francisco. In addition, counsel had an opportunity to review other discovery materials provided electronically to defense counsel. Counsel for the defendant has extended considerable time, effort, and resources to provide the Government with an exhaustive forensic psychological and risk assessment evaluation. Therefore, additional time is necessary for parties to meet and discuss the evaluation.

Counsel for the Government has been in trial for approximately the last two weeks terminating on or about Wednesday, February 21, 2018. Counsel for the defendant and the Government therefore request additional time to evaluate the information provided. The parties agree and jointly request the time between February 27 and the new proposed date of March 27, 2018 be excluded in order to provide reasonable time necessary for the effective preparation of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties agree that the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

For the reasons stated above, the Court finds that the exclusion of time from February 27, 2018 through and including March 27, 2018, is warranted and that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The failure to grant the requested continuance would deny effective preparation of counsel, and would result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
