CASE NO. 1:22-CR-00087-JLT-SKO 

 

 

JOINT STATUS REPORT AND STIPULATION 

REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS 

UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; ORDER 

DATE: August 30, 2023 

TIME: 1:00 p.m. 

COURT: Hon. Sheila K. Oberto 

This case is set for status conference August 30, 2023. As set forth below, the parties now move, 

by stipulation, to continue the status conference to December 6, 2023, and to exclude the time period 

between August 30, 2023 and December 6, 2023 under the Speedy Trial Act. 

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 30, 2023. 

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

December 6, 2023, and to exclude time between August 30, 2023 and December 6, 2023 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 is

voluminous and includes many thousands of pages of documents, tax documents, witness 

interviews, investigative reports, and other evidence. 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 his/her client, 

review the charges, conduct investigation and research, review discovery and discuss potential 

resolution of the case. 

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

continuance would deny him/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 30, 2023 to December 6, 

2023, 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.
