UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL MORGAN, Defendant.
ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS HEARING AND CONVERT TO ARRAIGNMENT
DONNA M. RYU, CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Based on the agreement of the parties in the stipulation above, the status hearing regarding preliminary hearing and arraignment presently set for March 13, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., is vacated. This matter is reset and converted to an arraignment on April 5, 2024, at 10:30 a.m.
Based upon the facts set forth in the stipulation of the parties and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time from March 13, 2024 through April 5, 2024 would unreasonably deny defense counsel and the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further finds that the ends of justice are served by excluding the time from March 13, 2024 through April 5, 2024 from computation under Fed. R. Crim. P. 5.1.
Therefore, and with the consent of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time from March 13, 2024 through April 5, 2024 shall be excluded from computation under Fed. R. Crim. P. 5.1 and the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
