STIPULATION AND ORDER EXCLUDING TIME FROM JUNE 25, 2018 THROUGH JULY 2, 2018

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America and defendant Keith Woodson, by and through their respective counsel of record herein, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. On May 21, 2018, the parties appeared before the Court for status. The next status conference in this case was scheduled for June 25, 2018. On June 12, 2018, the Court continued the status conference to July 2, 2018.

2. The Court previously excluded time until June 25, 2018 from the time in which the defendant must be brought to trial under the Speedy Trial Act. The parties jointly stipulate now to exclude the time between June 25, 2018 and July 2, 2018, from the time in which the defendant must be brought to trial pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3131 et al. The defendant and his counsel continue to review the discovery produced by the government, and the government will continue to produce discovery to the defendant. Therefore, the parties agree that the time period of June 25, 2018 through July 2, 2018, inclusive, should be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (h)(7)(B)(i) and (h)(7)(B)(iv) on the basis that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial, and failing to exclude time between June 25, 2018 through July 2, 2018, would deny counsel for defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Based upon the representations of counsel and foor good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between June 25, 2018 through July 22, 2018, would unreasonably deny counsel for defendant 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 finnds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time between June 25, 2018 through July 2, 2018, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and thee defendants in a speedy trial. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between June 25, 22018 through July 2, 2018, shall be excluded from comutaion under the Speedy Trail Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
