MAAME EWUSI-MENSAH FRIMPONG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is an Ex Parte Application to continuing the trial date filed by Defendant Kimberly Ann Miletta. ECF Nos. 70, 71. The Court held a hearing on the Application on May 15, 2024. For the reasons stated in the hearing, the Court GRANTS the application.
The Court hereby ORDERS as follows:
1. The trial in this matter is continued from June 17, 2024, to September 9, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. The Final Pretrial Conference is set for August 30, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
Defendant requested that the trial be set for Tuesday September 10, 2024. See ECF No. 70. A trial beginning on a Monday will be more convenient for the Court.
2. An additional status conference shall be held on July 18, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Defendant shall meet and confer with counsel for the United States and file a status report regarding Defendant's readiness for trial (and any other issues counsel wishes to bring to the Court's attention) by no later than July 11, 2024.

4. The time period of June 17, 2024, to September 10, 2024, inclusive, is excluded in computing the time within which the trial must commence, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A), (h)(7)(B)(i), and (B)(iv).
5. Defendant shall appear in Courtroom 8B of the Federal Courthouse, 350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, California on September 10, 2024, at 8:30 a.m., for trial, on August 30, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., for the Final Pretrial Conference, and on July 18, 2024, at 2:00 pm, for the status conference.
6. Nothing in this Order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excluded from the period within which trial must commence. Moreover, the same provisions and/or other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act may in the future authorize the exclusion of additional time periods from the period within which trial must commence.
7. Per the Court's Criminal Standing Order, the government shall file and email to Chambers the following pretrial documents no later than August 23, 2024.
