Docket 17). Each penalty for Counts 1-8 (against both defendants) includes up to 30

years in Federal Prison and the penalty for Count 9 (against Dedrick only) includes

up to 20 years in Federal Prison. (Docket 17). The case concerns allegations of

mortgage fraud. To date, the government has produced over 3,400 documents to be

reviewed and investigated by the defense. Each defendant's review is on-going. 

There is no trial date set. Both defendants are out of custody on pre-trial release.

On May 11, 2009, in Magistrate Court the two defendants were arraigned on

the Indictment and a District Court status conference was scheduled for June 25,

2009. (Docket 19). At the defendants' request, the Magistrate Court found (from a

record made with factual support) Speedy Trial Act time shall be excluded under

local code T-4 (defense preparation) from May 11, 2009 to June 25, 2009. (Docket

19). On June 24, 2009, at the request of the defendants and by stipulation of the

parties, this Court entered an Order continuing the case to October 8, 2009, finding

from a record made with factual support that time shall be excluded under local code

T-2 (for complex case) and local code T-4 (for defense preparation). (Docket 23). By

minute Order on August 17, 2009, on the Court's own motion, the October 8, 2009

status hearing was vacated and continued to October 22, 2009. (Docket 24). On

October 21, 2009, at the request of the defendants and by stipulation of the parties,

this Court entered another order -- excluding time from a record made with factual

support (under local code T-2 (for complex case) and local code T-4 (for defense

preparation)) -- from October 8, 2009 through January 28, 2010. (Docket 26). On

January 26, 2010, at the request of the defendants and by stipulation of the parties,

this Court entered a similar order -- excluding time from a record made with factual

support (under local code T-2 (for complex case) and local code T-4 (for defense

preparation)) -- from January 28, 2010 through (the currently set status hearing)

February 25, 2010. (Docket 28). The parties are engaged in negotiations to resolve

this case and the government indicates that it will not agree to further status hearing

continuances.

WHEREFORE, due to the nature of this case and the volume of discovery and

at the request of the defendants, the parties stipulate and agree that this Court should

order time under the Speedy Trial Act continue to be excluded up to and including

Thursday, June 3, 2010, under the Speedy Trial Act for case complexity (Local Code

T-2 and Title 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(8)(B)(ii)) and for defense counsel

preparation (Local Code T-4 and Title 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv)).
