[PROPOSED] ORDER EXCLUDING TIME FROM 

APRIL 21, 2015 TO MAY 19, 2015

Defendants James L. Sergent, represented by Daniel Blank, AFPD, and Monica Taylor, 

represented by Deborah G. Levine, Esq.,1 and the government, represented by Hallie Hoffman, Assistant 

United States Attorney, appeared before the Court on April 21, 2015 for an initial appearance and status 

hearing. The parties represented that the government had just provided thousands of pages of discovery.

The matter was continued to May 19, 2015 at 2:00pm for a change of plea hearing or to set 

further proceedings. Counsel requested that time be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act between April 

 1 Ms. Levine was unable to appear at the hearing so Mr. Blank specially appeared on behalf of 

Ms. Taylor.

21, 2015 and May 19, 2015 because the time was needed to review the discovery and to conduct 

necessary investigation. The government stated it had no objection to excluding time.

Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing 

to exclude the time between April 21, 2015 and May 19, 2015 would unreasonably deny the defendant 

continuity of counsel and would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, 

taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further 

finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time between April 21, 2015 and May 19, 2015 

from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant 

in a speedy trial. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between April 21, 2015 and May 

19, 2015 shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) 

and (B)(iv).
