FINDINGS AND ORDER
STIPULATION
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, defendant MICHAEL HUDDLESTON, by and through his counsel of record, Scott N. Cameron, and BRENT WILDER, by and through his counsel of record, TIMOTHY ZINDEL, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on April 26, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.
2. By this stipulation, defendants now move to continue the status conference until May 9, 2013, at 9:30 a.m., and to exclude time between April 26, 2013, and May 9, 2013, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The government has produced approximately 2,830 pages of discovery to the defense.
b. Respective counsel for each defendant desires additional time to review the document discovery, consult with their client regarding the discovery, conduct investigation, and to discuss potential resolution with their client and the government.
c. All counsel have been involved in substantive settlement negotiations which are still in progress.
d. Counsel for each defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny defendants the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
e. The government does not object to the continuance.
f. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
g. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of April 26, 2013, to May 9, 2013, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
(THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)
4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence. IT IS SO STIPULATED.
