ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND THE INDICTMENT DEADLINE
RICHARD A. JONES, District Judge.
THE COURT has considered the unopposed motion to extend the indictment deadline in this matter. It appears that it would be unreasonable to require the filing of an indictment within the period required by statute because of the need for further case evaluation prior to an indictment. Without an extension, the defense counsel would be denied the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation. The parties have consented to entering an order extending the indictment deadline from on or about May 7, 2019, to May 29, 2019.
THE COURT finds that justice is served by granting a continuance, and that a continuance outweighs the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy indictment.
IT IS ORDERED that the date on or before an indictment must be filed is extended to May 29, 2019.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period of delay from on or about May 7,
2019, to May 29, 2019, 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.
