STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING

STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME


Date: March 19, 2013

Judge: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between defendant Troy Stratos through his attorney, Timothy Zindel, and plaintiff, United States of America, through its attorney, Todd Pickles, that the status conference as to defendant Russo, scheduled for March 19, 2013, may be continued to May 21, 2013, at 9:15 a.m.

The federal defender was appointed in February to represent Mr. Stratos. Assigned counsel has begun reviewing discovery, which is voluminous, and assembling a defense team. The charges against Mr. Stratos arise from events occurring over five years ago and a lengthy investigation is likely to consume much of the year. New counsel hopes to have a better sense by mid-May about what will be needed for future scheduling purposes.

Because of the new appointment and need for time to prepare, the parties agree that the interests of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Mr. Stratos in a speedy trial. The pasties ask the Court to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act through May 21, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

Respectfully submitted,

JOSEPH SCHLESINGER

Acting Federal Defender
