UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ALIKI WEBB
Hon.WMamH.Walls
Continuance Order
This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (by Charlton A. Rugg, Assistant U.S. Attorney), and defendant Aliki Webb (by K. Anthony Thomas, AFPD) for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter for a period of 60 days, and the defendant being aware that he has a right to have the matter brought to trial within 70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial officer of this court pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(c)(1), and as the defendant has consented to this continuance, 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. Plea negotiations are currently in progress, and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to finalize a plea agreement, which would render trial of this matter unnecessary;
2. Defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance; and
3. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
WHEREFORE, on this 8th dy of February, 2012.
IT IS ORDERED that the period from January 25, 2012, through March 25,2012, shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7).
