ORDER
JOHN C. COUGHENOUR, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant's unopposed motion to extend the indictment deadline in this matter (Dkt. No. 16). Having thoroughly considered the motion (Dkt. No. 16), Defendant's waiver of speedy indictment (Dkt. No. 17), and the relevant record, the Court hereby GRANTS the motion for the reasons explained herein.
It would be unreasonable to require the filing of an indictment within the period required by statute because of the need for further investigation, discovery, and plea negotiations prior to an indictment in this case. Without an extension, the Government and Defendant would be denied the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation and negotiation. Therefore, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant's interest in a speedy indictment.
The Court therefore ORDERS that the date on or before an indictment must be filed is hereby EXTENDED from September 27, 2018 to November 30, 2018.
The Court further ORDERS that the period of delay from September 27, 2018 to November 30, 2018 is excludable time pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) for the purpose of computing the time limitations imposed by the Speedy Trial Act.
