toward a potential resolution of the charges.

The parties further stipulate that the failure to grant a 

continuance in this matter would deny counsel reasonable time 

necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the 

exercise of due diligence; that the ends of justice served by 

granting this continuance outweigh the best interest of the 

public and the defendant in a speedy trial; and that time should 

be excluded from the computation of time within which trial must 

commence under the Speedy Trial Act from September 10, 2015, up 

to and including September 24, 2015, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161

counsel reasonable time to prepare.

I, William E. Bonham, the filing party, have received 

authorization from AUSA Jason Hitt to sign and submit this 

stipulation and proposed order on his behalf.

Accordingly, the defense and the United States agree and 

stipulate that the status conference for defendant Kayode George

ORDER

The status conference currently set for Thursday, September 

10, 2015 at 9:00 am is vacated and reset for Thursday, September 

24, 2015, at 9:00 am. The Court finds that the failure to grant 

such a continuance would deny counsel reasonable time necessary 

for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of 

due diligence. Accordingly, the time within which the trial of 

this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is 

excluded from September 10, 2015, up to and including the date of 

the new status conference, September 24, 2015, pursuant to 18 

U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T4. The Court

specifically finds that the ends of justice served by granting 

this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and 

defendants in a speedy trial within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 

3161(h) (7) (A) and (B) (IV) and Local Code T-4.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
