STIPULATION CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE, EXCLUDING TIME AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
THOMAS S. HIXSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States and defendant Braiden Caroll Williams, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. A status conference is scheduled in this case for July 16, 2024.
2. The defendant was previously ordered transported to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in light of separate charges being filed in that district, where he remains in custody.
3. The parties intend to engage in discussions regarding a possible global resolution in this matter, to encompass both charges filed in this matter and charges filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
4. In light of this posture, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that the upcoming status conference should be continued by approximately 120 days. The parties propose that the status conference be set on the duty calendar on November 13, 2024.
5. Further, the parties jointly stipulate to exclude the time between July 16, 2024, and November 13, 2024, from the time in which defendant must be brought to trial pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3131 et al. Defense counsel continues to review discovery produced by the United States and anticipates requiring additional time to review discovery and advise the defendant regarding a possible resolution in this matter, particularly given the separate pending charges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. For this reason, the parties agree that excluding time until November 13, 2024, will allow for effective preparation of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties further stipulate and agree that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from July 16, 2024, through November 13, 2024 from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER
Based upon the facts set forth in the stipulation of the parties, and for good cause shown, the Court continues the upcoming status conference to November 13, 2024. The Court further finds that an exclusion of time from July 16, 2024 through November 13, 2024 is appropriate for effective preparation and continuity of counsel. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from July 16, 2024 through November 13, 2024, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Therefore, and with the consent of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time from July 16, 2024 through November 13, 2024 shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
