b) The parties have conferred with the Court and propose the following schedule for 

the defendant’s Motion to Suppress: 

October 19, 2020 – date by which defendant must file Motion to Suppress 

November 16, 2020 – date by which government must file its Response

November 30, 2020 – date by which defendant must file his Reply, if any 

December 15, 2020 – date of evidentiary hearing and argument, if any

c) Additionally, the government has represented that the discovery associated with 

this case includes video/audio recordings and written reports. The government has provided 

extensive discovery in the form of these recordings and reports. The government recently 

provided additional discovery in response to defense counsel’s request. 

d) Counsel for defendant also desires additional time to review discovery, consult 

with his client, research his criminal history, pursue further investigation, discuss possible 

resolution with the assigned AUSA, file the aforementioned motion, prepare for any evidentiary 

hearing, and otherwise prepare for trial. 

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

continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for to file and litigate the Motion to 

Suppress Evidence. Counsel for defendant also 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.

f) The government does not object to the continuance.

g) 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. 

h) 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 October 5, 2020 to December 15, 

2020, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(1)(D) [Local Code E] 

because it results from a pretrial motion, from the filing of the motion through the conclusion of 

the hearing on or prompt disposition of the motion. Furthermore, for the purpose of computing

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.

Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial
