Roger A. Hunko, Attorney for Defendant.
Nicholas William Brown, Assistant United States Attorney.
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND INDICTMENT DEADLINE
Upon stipulation of the parties to continue the speedy indictment time to allow counsel to continue to investigate and negotiate this case, and upon the defendant's Waiver of Rights to Speedy Indictment, the Court finds that such a continuance would serve the ends of justice, and that the failure to grant such continuance in this case would deny counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time to file an indictment in this matter be continued to March 15, 2009. The period of delay resulting from this continuance from February 13, 2009 to March 15, 2009, is hereby excluded for speedy trial purposes under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) and (B).
