JUDGE: MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR.
STIPULATION
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant Shay Din Altit , by and through his counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on January 24, 2013.
2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference as to Shay Din Altit only until February 21, 2013, and to exclude time between January 24, 2013 and February 21, 2013, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The government has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes over 700 pages of investigative reports and bank records and related documents plus numerous jail house calls. All of this discovery has been either produced directly to counsel and/or made available for inspection and copying.
b. Counsel for defendant desires additional time to consult with his client, to review the current charges, to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to review and copy discovery for this matter, and to discuss potential resolutions with his/her client.
c. Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
d. The government does not object to the continuance.
e. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
f. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of January 24, 2013 to February 21, 2013, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence.
5. Counsel for defendant Mordechay Altit filed on December 13, 2012, a stipulation and proposed order requesting that his status conference be moved until Thursday, March 14, 2013. IT IS SO STIPULATED.
