(First Request)
BRENDA WEKSLER, Magistrate Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Nicholas Trutanich, United States Attorney, by and through Nadia Ahmed, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States, and Defendant, Orlandis Wells, by and through his attorney, Christopher R. Oram, Esq., that the deadline for filing pretrial motions shall be extended until January 10, 2020.
This is the first request for a continuance of the pretrial motion dates.
Pursuant to General Order No. 2007-04, this Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Counsel for Mr. Wells is currently in the midst of an eight defendant murder trial before Judge Navarro (2:16-cr-00265, Defendant C. Morales) and the trial is expected to last though this year at a minimum. Given this, defense counsel requires additional time to review discovery and determine what, if any, pretrial motions would need to be filed.
2. Mr. Wells is not in custody and agrees with the continuance.
3. Denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
4. For all of the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice would best be served by a continuance of the pretrial motions date.
