STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING
CASE
Date: July 19, 2012
Judge: Hon. Morrison C. England, Jr.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Matthew Morris, counsel for Plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Jeffrey L. Staniels, counsel for Defendant that the above case be vacated from this court's July 19, 2012 calendar, and that it be continued until October 11, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. for status conference.
This stipulation seeks a continuance of the first scheduled appearance of Mr. Taylor before the District Court. Counsel have conferred about the pace and potential scope of additional discovery and about the possibility that this case may well justify a complexity finding in the future. The date of October 11, 2012, seeks to account for those concerns, for the intended provision of added discovery in the near future, for the need for the defense to commence preparation by identifying the information available to counsel from Mr. Taylor, and to identify need for further discovery, for investigation, and for potential motions, and to advise Mr. Taylor of options available concerning how to proceed.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the interests of justice served by permitting this continuance for the above stated purposes outweigh the interests of the public and of Mr. Taylor in a speedy trial and that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded between the filing of this stipulation and October 11, 2012, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T-4.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
