STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SETTING HEARING DATE AND EXCLUDING TIME FROM THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT CALCULATION

RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.

Defendant DRAY TERRY MOSBY, represented by Robert Waggener, and the Government, represented by Christopher Vieira, Special Assistant United States Attorney, appeared before the Court on October 23, 2018 for a status conference. Counsel for defendant represented that additional time was needed for attorney preparation and investigation.

The Court set a further status conference for November 13, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. Defendant requested that time be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act between October 23, 2018 and November 13, 2018 to continue to conduct necessary investigation. The Government did not object to the request to exclude time.

Therefore, the parties agree, and the Court finds and holds, as follows:

1. This matter is set before this Court for a status conference on November 13, 2018.

2. The time between October 23, 2018 and November 13, 2018 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant the requested continuance would deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and in the prompt disposition of criminal cases. See id. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
