ORDER

STANLEY CHESLER, District Judge

This matter having been opened to the Court on the joint application of Christopher J. Christie, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Matthew E. Beck, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendants Keith Stewart (Linwood A. Jones, Esq., appearing), Sharod Hester (Kenneth W. Kayser, Esq., appearing), and Shawn Davis (Robert Olejar, Esq., appearing), and good cause having been shown, the Court makes the following findings:

1. This case is sufficiently complex, due to the nature of the prosecution, that it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and trial within the time limits established by Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161; and

2. The ends of justice served by a continuance of the trial date in this matter until November 3, 2008 outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

IT IS, therefore, on this 25^th day ofJune 2008,

ORDERED that:

the trial date in this matter is continued until December 2nd, 2008, and that the period of time from May 13, 2008 through November 3, 2008, shall be excluded for the purposes of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(8)(A), (h)(8)(B)(ii), and (h)(8)(B)(iv); and it is further

ORDERED that:

1. Defendants shall file pretrial motions on or before October 10^th ;

2. The Government shall respond to such motions on or beforeNovember 1, 2008.

3. The return date for pretrial motions shall be November 18, 2008; and

5. Trial shall commence on Dec 2^nd , 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
