UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

FRED LAVENDER, 

 Defendant. 

CASE NO. 2:19-CR-239-TLN 

STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE 

TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; 

FINDINGS AND ORDER 

DATE: August 6, 2020 

TIME: 9:30 a.m. 

COURT: Hon. Troy L. Nunley 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and 

through defendant’s counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on August 6, 2020. 

2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until August 

27, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., and to exclude time between August 6, 2020, and August 27, 2020, under Local 

Code T4. 

3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following: 

a) The government has represented that the discovery associated with this case 

includes approximately 75 pages of reports and 19 audio or video recordings. All of this 

discovery has been either produced directly to counsel and/or made available for inspection and 

copying.

b) Counsel for defendant desires additional time to consult with her client, review 

the charges, continue to further research the defendant’s criminal history, further research 

possible defenses, further review evidence, discuss possible defenses and resolution, engage in 

further plea negotiations with the assigned AUSA, and otherwise prepare for trial. 

c) Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested 

continuance would deny her the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into 

account the exercise of due diligence. 

d) The government does not object to the continuance. 

e) Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the 

case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the 

original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act. 

f) 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 of August 6, 2020 to August 27, 

2020, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code 

T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant’s request 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 a speedy trial.
