JAMES P. DONOHUE, Magistrate Judge.
The Court, having reviewed the defense's unopposed motion and the defendant's agreement to extend the time for an Indictment, finds as to the facts stipulated to by counsel in that document, and hereby makes the following findings of fact:
1. A failure to grant the continuance would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii).
2. The parties believe that an extension of time in which to indict may result in the possible resolution of the case without an indictment and without trial. Thus, the Court further finds that the ends of justice will be served by ordering a continuance in this case, that a continuance is necessary to ensure effective trial preparation and that these factors outweigh the best interests of the public in a more speedy trial, within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the time within which an indictment in this case must be filed against the defendant shall be extended from September 6, 2018, to October 8, 2018.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period of delay from September 6, 2018, to October 8, 2018, is excludable time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18, U.S.C. §§ 3161 et seq. No Further Extensions.
