COURT: Hon. Deborah Barnes
The Court has read and considered the Stipulation for Extension of Time for Preliminary Hearing Pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) and Exclusion of Time, filed by the parties in this matter on December 15, 2021. The Court hereby finds that the Stipulation, which the Court incorporates by reference into this Order, demonstrates good cause for an extension of time for the preliminary hearing date pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Furthermore, for the reasons set forth in the parties' stipulation, the Court finds that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The Court further finds that the extension of time would not adversely affect the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases.
THEREFORE, FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN:
1. The date of the preliminary hearing is EXTENDED to December 29, 2021, at 2:00 PM.
2. The time between December 17, 2021, and December 29, 2021, shall be excluded from calculation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
3. The defendant shall appear at that date and time before the Magistrate Judge on duty.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
