ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE

This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Barbara R. Llanes, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendants Felix Roque (Bryan Blaney, Esq., counsel for defendant, appearing) and Joseph Roque (John Azzarello, Esq., counsel for defendant, appearing) for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter; and the defendants being aware that they have the right to have the matter brought to trial within 70 days of the date of their appearance before a judicial officer of this court pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(c)(1), and defendants having consented to such a continuance, and it appearing that the defendants waive such right, and for good and sufficient cause shown,

IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:

(1) The charges in this case are the result of an extensive investigation, and the discovery involves electronic evidence, documents and recordings that defense counsel require adequate time to review;

(2) Taking into account the exercise of diligence, therefore, the facts of this case require that defense counsel be permitted a reasonable amount of additional time for effective preparation in this matter;

(3) As a result of the foregoing, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. IT IS, therefore, on this 11th day of December, 2012,

ORDERED that pre-trial motions shall be filed by February 1, 2013; oppositions shall be filed by February 15, 2013; replies shall be filed by February 22, 2013; a hearing on the motions is scheduled for February 28, 2013; and the trial is scheduled for May 14, 2012.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action be, and hereby is, continued for the period from December 25, 2012 to the date trial is scheduled to commence, and that the period from December 25, 2012 to the date trial is scheduled to commence shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974.
