ORDER CONTINUING STATUS

CONFERENCE

2016 at 9:00 a.m. The parties stipulate as follows:

1. This matter was initially assigned to United States District Court Judge John A. 

Mendez. Counsel for both parties and defendant appeared before Judge Mendez at a 

status conference on October 6, 2015. Judge Mendez granted a continuance of the 

status conference to January 26, 2016. Based on the representations of the parties the 

Court excluded time under the Speedy Trial Act during the period from October 6, 

2015 up to and including January 26, 2016.

2. On January 8, 2016, the case was transferred to this Court by Order of Chief Judge 

Morrison C. England, Jr. This Court later issued Minute Order re-scheduling the 

status conference for January 29, 2016.

3. By this stipulation, Defendant requests to continue the status conference to March 18, 

2016 at 9:00 a.m., and to exclude time between January 26, 2016 and March 18, 2016

under Local Code T-4.

4. The parties specifically agree and stipulate, and request the Court find the following:

a) The government has provided discovery to defense counsel consisting of 

approximately twenty-five thousand pages of documents, including documents 

obtained by subpoena, memoranda of interviews, and audio recordings. 

b) Defense counsel continues to review this voluminous material and conduct 

investigation to prepare the matter for trial.

c) Defense counsel believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance 

would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking 

into account the exercise of due diligence.

ORDER CONTINUING STATUS

CONFERENCE

d) Based on the above-state findings, and for the purpose of computing time under 

the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must 

commence, the time period from January 26, 2016 to March 18, 2016, inclusive, 

is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [Local 

Code T-4] because it results from a continuance granted on the basis of the 

Court’s finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the 

best interest of the public and the defendant in speedy trial.

5. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of 

the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the 

period within which a trial must commence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Dolan has reviewed this proposed order and authorized 

Todd Leras to sign it on his behalf.

ORDER CONTINUING STATUS

CONFERENCE

ORDER

BASED ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES, it is 

hereby ordered that the status conference in this matter scheduled for January 29, 2016 is vacated. 

A new status conference is scheduled for March 18, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The Court further finds, 

based on the representations of the parties, that the ends of justice served by granting the 

continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time 

shall be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local 

Code T-4, to allow necessary attorney preparation taking into consideration the exercise of due 

diligence for the period from January 26, 2016, up to and including March 18, 2016.
