ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S STIPULATED MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL
Hon. John H. Chun, U.S. District Court Judge
Defendant's Stipulated Motion to Continue Trial Date came on regularly for hearing, and, the Court being fully advised, grants the motion and further finds that, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), the ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and defendant in a speedy trial, for the reasons outlined in defendant's motion. Specifically, it appears to the Court that the failure to grant a trial continuance would effectively deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the trial is continued to March 4, 2024, and pretrial motions are to be filed no later than February 22, 2024.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period of delay from the filing of defendant's motion until the new trial date is excludable time pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A), for the purpose of computing the time limitations imposed by the Speedy Trial Act, Title 18 United States Code, Sections 3161 through 3174.
ORDERED.
