2:08-CR-0329 JAM

STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING

TRIAL

Time: 9:30 a.m.

Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Court: Hon. John A. Mendez

The parties request that the trial currently set for Monday,

March 8, 2010, through Friday, March 19, 2010, be vacated and

that the trial in this matter be continued to July 19, 2010, at

9:00 a.m. The parties also request that the trial confirmation

hearing date set for Tuesday, February 9, 2010, at 9:30 a.m., be

vacated and that a new trial confirmation date be set for June

22, 2010, at 9:30 a.m.

A continuance of the trial dates from March until July is

needed for several reasons. In response to a formal discovery

request given by defense counsel on October 16, 2009, the

government provided several thousands pages of discovery to

defense counsel. This material has been available for defense

counsel to review since November 30, 2009; however, copies of

this material were not provided until January 20, 2010. On

January 31, 2010, defense counsel filed a motion to continue the

trial dates for at least 120 days in order to permit time for

review of the discovery. The government also intends to provide

supplemental expert reports based upon additional analysis

performed by the government expert. It is anticipated that

defense counsel will need time to review these reports and

consult his retained expert.

A trial date of July 19, 2010, is requested due to several

conflicts in both government and defense counsel’s schedules. 

The Assistant United States Attorney for the government will be

in trial on other matters at the end of April and the middle of

June. Defense counsel will be in trial in late March and will be

out of the area in early May. Accordingly, the first available

period that is available to both counsel and that provides them

with the necessary time to prepare for a trial in this case is

July 19, 2010. 

The parties believe that the continuance should be excluded

from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. As

explained above, the additional time is necessary due to defense

counsel’s need to prepare taking into account the exercise of due

diligence, as well as to ensure continuity of both government and

defense counsel. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv); Local Code T4. 

The additional time is also necessary due to the complexity of

the case, in particular the volume of evidence and the expert

witness issues. Id. at (ii); Local Code T2. The interests of
