ORDER 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and the 

defendants, by and through their counsels of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

 1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on January 7, 2016. 

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

until April 7, 2016, at 9:30 a.m., and to exclude time between January 7, 2016, and April 7, 

2016, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request. 

 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 

includes approximately 98 pages of investigative reports and related documents in electronic 

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

for inspection and copying. The government has also conveyed written plea agreements to each 

of the defendants. Defense counsel for each defendant needs additional time to review the plea 

agreements with their clients. 

 b. Counsel for the defendants desires additional time to consult with their respective 

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

charges, to review and copy discovery for this matter, to discuss potential resolutions with their 

clients, to prepare pretrial motions, and to otherwise prepare for trial. The parties have conferred 

and the government has extended offers to the defendants that each will need to consider. 

Defense counsel for Mr. Voskanyan has also been preparing for USA v. Lee Loomis which is a 

large real estate fraud and Ponzi scheme trial scheduled to commence on February 8, 2016. This 

is one reason for why defense counsel for Mr. Voskanyan needs more time to prepare for this 

case. 

 c. Counsel for the defendants believe that failure to grant the above-requested 

continuance would deny the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, 

taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 

 d. The government does not object to the continuance. 

 e. 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. 

 f. 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 January 7, through April 7, 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 by the Court at defendant’s request 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. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
