EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 v.

GABRIELA CARTER,

 Defendant.

CASE NO. 2:15-CR-00046 GEB

STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE 

TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; 

[PROPOSED] FINDINGS AND ORDER

DATE: March 18, 2016

TIME: 9:00 a.m.

COURT: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.

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 March 18, 2016. 

2. By this stipulation, defendants now move to continue the status conference until May 20, 

2016, and to exclude time between March 18, 2016, and May 20, 2016, 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 

consists of approximately twenty-five thousand pages of documents, including documents 

obtained by subpoena, memoranda of interviews, and audio recordings. 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 client, to review

the current charges, to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to review the 

discovery, and to otherwise prepare for trial. Counsel for the defendant needs additional time for 

these reasons, and because of his current case load, which includes a complex fraud case set for 

trial in the Northern District of California in August 2016. Counsel for defendant recently joined 

that case as assistant trial counsel and he has impending motion deadlines and potential 

depositions that could require international travel. 

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) 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. 

e) 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 March 18, 2016 to May 20, 2016, 

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 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.

must commence.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
