STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CONTINUING ARRAIGNMENT AND 

EXCLUDING TIME UNDER FEDERAL RULE OF 

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 5.1 AND THE SPEEDY 

TRIAL ACT

The undersigned parties respectfully request that the arraignment scheduled for January 29, 2015 be 

continued to March 5, 2015. The defendant resides in Woodland, California, and the parties are 

exploring the possibility of a Rule 20 transfer to the Eastern District of California. In order for the case 

to be transferred, the defendant must agree to enter a guilty plea and the United States Attorney for the 

Eastern District of California must accept the case. Therefore, the parties need additional time to reach a 

disposition of the case, and obtain the consent of the United States Attorney in the Eastern District of 

California to transfer the case. The parties also request an exclusion under Rule 5(c) and (d) of the 

Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Speedy Trial Act. The parties agree and stipulate that an 

exclusion of time under both Rule 5.1 and the Speedy Trial Act from January 29, 2015 to March 5, 2015

is appropriate based on the parties need to determine if the case can be resolved. In addition, AFPD 

Beevers needs time to review the discovery, conduct his investigation, and consult with the defendant.

ORDER

Accordingly, for good cause shown, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that the arraignment scheduled 

for January 29, 2015 is continued to March 5, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. 

The Court FURTHER ORDERS time be excluded under Rule 5.1(c) and (d) in order for the parties 

to explore a pre-indictment resolution. The Court also excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act from 

January 29, 2015 through March 5, 2015. The Court finds, based on the aforementioned reasons, that the 

ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and 

the defendant in a speedy trial. The failure to grant the requested continuance would deny defense 

counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due 

diligence, and would result in a miscarriage of justice. The Court therefore concludes that this exclusion 

of time should be made under 18 U.S.C. '' 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

SO ORDERED.
