STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY HEARING

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between DANIEL G. BOGDEN, United States Attorney, and PATRICK M. WALSH, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rebecca A. Levy, counsel for defendant Amir Adnan Abnukhater, that the preliminary hearing in the above-captioned matter, currently scheduled for March 14, 2013, at the hour of 4:00 p.m., be vacated and continued for one (1) week, or to a date and time to be set by this Honorable Court.

This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. Government counsel is out of the jurisdiction on the date of the current preliminary hearing.

2. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.

3. The additional time requested by this stipulation, is excludable in computing the time within which the defendant must be indicted and the trial herein must commence pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) and § 3161(h)(8)(A), considering the factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(i) and (iv).

ORDER CONTINUING PRELIMINARY HEARING

Based on the pending stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the court hereby finds that:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the preliminary hearing in the above-captioned matter currently scheduled for March 14, 2013, at the hour of 4:00 p.m., be vacated and continued to Monday, 3/25/2013 @ 4:00pm in Courtroom #3B.
