____________________________________) 

With the agreement of the parties, the Court enters this Order excluding the time period

from October 25, 2005, through December 1, 2005 under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3161. The parties agree, and the Court finds and holds, as follows:

1. The parties appeared before the Court on September 23, 2005, for a status hearing.

Defense counsel requested that the firearm at issue in this case be tested for the presence of

DNA. The United States agreed to submit the firearm for DNA testing on an expedited basis and

did so during the first week of October after collecting saliva swabs from the Defendant (with his

consent and the consent of defense counsel). According to the San Francisco Police Department

Crime Lab, the DNA analysis will take between six and eight weeks to complete. 

2. Because the Defendant wishes to know the outcome of the DNA testing before

proceeding further in this matter, the parties jointly request that the Court continue the status

hearing in this case from October 25, 2005, at 11:00 a.m. to December 1, 2005, at 11:00 a.m., the

next calendar date that both the Court and all of the parties are available. The government

anticipates, based on the estimate provided by the crime lab, that the DNA testing will have been

completed by December 1st. 

3. In light of the foregoing facts, the parties stipulate that the failure to grant the

requested continuance would unreasonably deny the Defendant effective preparation of counsel

taking into account the exercise of due diligence, that the ends of justice would be served by the

Court excluding the proposed time period, that these ends outweigh the best interest of the public

and the Defendant in a speedy trial, and that the time period from October 25, 2005 through

December 1, 2005 shall be excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculation. 18 U.S.C. §

3161(h)(8)(A), (B)(iv).

SO STIPULATED.
