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 February 19, 2015, up to 

and including March 26, 2015, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 

(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T-4, to allow defense 

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 

Gansah should be reset for Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 9:00 am

before the Honorable Morrison C. England, Jr.

ORDER

The status conference currently set for Thursday, February 

19, 2015 at 9:00 am is vacated and reset for Thursday, March 26,

2015, at 9:00 am. 

I find 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 February 19, 2015, up 

to and including the date of the new status conference, March 26,

2015, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local 

Code T4 and 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(D) and Local Code E upon the 

filing of motions. 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. 

Dated: February 23, 2015
