WILLIAM J. PORTANOVA Attorney for Randy Lee Thompson.
MATTHEW G. MORRIS, Assistant United States Attorney.
STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
TROY L. NUNLEY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
With the Court’s permission, it is hereby stipulated between the parties, William J. Portanova, counsel for the defendant herein, and Matthew G. Morris Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for the plaintiff, that the status conference scheduled for January 29, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. be continued until March 5, 2015 at 9:30 a.m.
Defense counsel has recently received highly technical engineering discovery and requires additional time to review these materials prior to discussing the case with the government.
In addition, the parties stipulate that the time between January 29, 2015 and March 5, 2015 be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act (18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv)) and local code T4 to give counsel time to prepare.
The parties stipulate that the ends of justice to be served by granting this defense request for a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
