MELINDA HAAG, United States Attorney, DAVID R. CALLAWAY, Chief, Criminal Division, CLAUDIA A. QUIROZ, Assistant United States Attorney, San Francisco, California, Attorneys for United States of America.
MICHAEL HINCKLEY, Counsel for Defendant Joseph Edward Conner.
ORDER EXCLUDING TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr., District Judge.
The parties appeared before the Honorable Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. on June 22, 2015 for a status conference. Michael Hinckley appeared as counsel for Defendant Joseph Edward Conner. With the agreement of the parties, and with the consent of the defendant, the Court enters this order documenting the exclusion of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), from June 22, 2015 to August 10, 2015. The parties agreed, and the Court found and held, as follows:
1. The parties agreed to the exclusion of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act so that defense counsel would have time to further investigate this matter, review discovery, and confer with the defendant, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
2. Given these circumstances, the Court found that the ends of justice served by excluding the period from June 22, 2015 to August 10, 2015 from Speedy Trial Act calculations outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial by allowing for the defense to prepare effectively, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
With the consent of Defendant Joseph Edward Conner, the period from June 22, 2015 to August 10, 2015 is excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculations for effective preparation of counsel, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
