STIPULATION AND ORDER
TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY HEARING
Date: April 18, 2013
Judge: Hon. Edmund F. Brennan
The parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court continue the preliminary hearing scheduled for April 18, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., to May 16, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.
Counsel for Mr. Lang requires the time to review discovery with Mr. Lang and to conduct investigation. Counsel also requires the time to discuss a pre-indictment resolution of this case with Mr. Lang.
The parties agree that the above reasons constitute good cause to extend the time for preliminary hearing under Fed. R. Crim. P. 5.1, and that the Court should extend the time within which the government must file an indictment to May 16, 2013. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting Mr. Lang's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Mr. Lang in a speedy trial, and that this is an appropriate exclusion of time for defense preparation within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) (Local Code T4).
