STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
STATUS HEARING AND TO EXCLUDE TIME
UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
This case is currently scheduled for a status hearing on September 19, 2011. Counsel for the United States has communicated with counsel for defendant, and has been informed that counsel for defendant needs time to review the discovery that has provided in this case, and to research and draft a motion to suppress, all of which are necessary to prepare for his client's defense.
Based on these facts, the parties stipulate and agree that the trial delay and exclusion of time requested herein is necessary to provide defense counsel reasonable time to prepare his client's defense taking into account due diligence. The parties further stipulate and agree that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that the status hearing scheduled in this case for September 19, 2011, should be continued until November 7, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. In addition, the parties stipulate that the time period from September 19, 2011, to November 7, 2011, should be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), and Local Code T4, due to the need to provide defense counsel with the reasonable time to prepare. A proposed order is attached and lodged separately for the Court's convenience.
