EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

THOMAS ROMEO,

 Defendant.

CASE NO. 2:14-CR-331 GEB

STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE 

TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; 

[PROPOSED] FINDINGS AND ORDER

STIPULATION

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

through defendant’s counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on July 29, 2016. 

2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status hearing until September 

23, 2016, and to exclude time between July 29, 2016, and September 23, 2016, under Local Code T4. 

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 multiple thousands of pages documents seized as part of a search warrant, investigative reports, 

documents obtained via subpoenas, and other documents and evidence obtained as part of the 

investigation. All of this discovery is being made available for inspection and copying by the defense.

b) The parties have met and conferred with respect to certain evidentiary and proof 

inquiries by the defense relating to some of the charged conduct, the results of which may affect the 

defense preparation of this case. The United States anticipates it will respond to defendant’s inquiries 

over the next several weeks.

c) Counsel for defendant desires additional time to inspect and copy the discovery, 

consult with his client, conduct an investigation and research related to the charges, and to discuss 

potential resolution with his client. 

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

continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account 

the exercise of due diligence.

e) The United States does not object to the continuance.

f) 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. 

g) 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 July 29, 2016 to September 23, 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.
