Court: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.

The parties to this action, Plaintiff United States of America by and through Assistant

ORDER CONTINUING STATUS

CONFERENCE

2. By this stipulation, defendant moves to continue the status conference to December 9, 

2016, and to exclude time between September 30, 2016, and December 9, 2016, 

under Local Code T4.

3. The parties agree and stipulate 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 

memoranda of interviews, audio recordings, and documents obtained by subpoena. 

All of this discovery has been either produced directly to counsel and/or made 

available for inspection and copying.

b) Counsel for defendant requires additional time to consult with his client, review 

the discovery, review the current charges and explore potential defenses to them, 

and to otherwise prepare the matter for trial. Defense counsel requires this 

additional time for the reasons listed in the preceding sentence and because of his 

current case load, which includes a complex fraud case set for trial in the 

Northern District of California recently continued from August to October 2016.

c) Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested 

continuance would deny him the 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 outweigh the interests of the public and defendant in 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 September 30, 2016 

to December 9, 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.

4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of 

the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the 

period within which a trial must commence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith has reviewed this stipulation and proposed 

order and authorized Todd Leras to sign it on her behalf.
