ORDER

THOMAS D. THALKEN, Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the court on the oral motion of defendant Kevin M. Lee (Lee) for an extension of the pretrial motion deadline. The motion was made during the arraignment on the Indictment on December 17, 2014. The government had no objection to the motion. Lee acknowledged the additional time needed for his motion would be excluded under the calculations under the Speedy Trial Act. The oral motion was granted.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. Lee's motion for an extension of time to file pretrial motions is granted. Lee shall have to on or before March 24, 2015, in which to file pretrial motions in accordance with the progression order.

2. The ends of justice have been served by granting such motion and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, i.e., from December 17, 2014, and March 24, 2015, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act for the reason defendant's counsel requires additional time to adequately prepare the case, taking into consideration due diligence of counsel, and the novelty and complexity of this case. The failure to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B).
