the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a 

trial within the original date prescribed under the Speedy Trial Act.

6. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 

3161, et seq., within which the trial date must commence, the time period of 

May 26, 2016 to August 25, 2016, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 

18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) and 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.

7. 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.
