STIPULATION AND ORDER

CONTINUING STATUS

CONFERENCE HEARING

At the request of the parties, the Court enters this order

(1) continuing the status hearing presently set for February 24,

2011 at 10:00 a.m. before the Honorable Judge Kimberly J.

Mueller to April 28, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.; and (2) excluding time

under the Speedy Trial Act from February 24, 2011, based on the

following:

1. The requested continuance is predicated in large part on

outstanding discovery based issues which must be resolved

prior to setting a briefing schedule on Defendant’s Motion

to Traverse the Warrant in this matter. Currently pending

before this Court is a Motion Objecting to the Magistrate’s

Denial of Defendant’s Henthorn Motion, filed on December

21, 2011, Docket No. 60.

2. Furthermore, the defense filed a Motion to Compel Discovery

before the Magistrate Court on December 29, 2010, Docket

No. 61. On February 9, 2011, Magistrate Judge Gregory G.

Hollows vacated this Motion to Compel Discovery without

prejudice (Docket No. 76) pending this Court’s decision on

the Henthorn issue.

3. Once both of these matters are resolved, the defense will

be in a position to set a briefing schedule on the Motion

to Traverse the Warrant.

4. The parties further stipulate that the time between

February 24, 2011 and April 28, 2011, should be excluded

from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. 

The parties stipulate that the ends of justice are served

by the Court excluding such time, so that counsel for each

defendant may have reasonable time necessary for effective

preparation, taking into account the exercise of due

diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and local rule

code T4. Specifically, as set forth above, ongoing

discovery production and requests are occurring as well as

preparation for future motion practice. The parties

stipulate and agree that the interests of justice served by

granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of

the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C.

§ 3161(h)(7)(A). 

THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE that the continuance of the

status hearing to April 28, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. is warranted such

that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance

outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a
