[PROPOSED] ORDER AND

STIPULATION EXCLUDING TIME

FROM MARCH 14, 2007 TO MAY 9, 2007

FROM THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

CALCULATION (18 U.S.C.

§ 3161(h)(8)(A) & (B)(iv))

The parties appeared before the Court on March 14, 2007. With the agreement of the

parties, and with the consent of the defendant, the Court enters this order (1) scheduling a change

of plea and sentencing date on May 9, 2007, before your Honor; and (2) documenting the

exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) & (B)(iv), from March

14, 2007 to May 9, 2007. The parties agreed, and the Court found and held, as follows:

1. The parties agreed to an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant

the requested continuance would unreasonably deny both government and defense counsel

reasonable time necessary for effective case preparation because (1) both parties were still

awaiting receipt of additional discovery, specifically, immigration audio tapes, and would need

adequate time to review that new discovery, and (2) the parties needed to have a report of

defendant’s criminal history prepared by the Probation Office in order to conduct a consolidated

plea and sentencing pursuant to the Fast Track program. The continuance was also necessary to

ensure continuity of counsel because counsel for the government, Assistant United States

Attorney Erika R. Frick, will be on travel and unavailable from at least April 23, 2007 to May 3,

2007. The May 9, 2007 date is this Court’s first available hearing date after AUSA Frick’s return

from travel. 

2. Given these circumstances, the Court found that the ends of justice served by

excluding the period from March 14, 2007 to May 9, 2007 outweighed the best interest of the

public and the defendant in a speedy trial. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) & (B)(iv). 

3. Accordingly, and with the consent of the defendant, the Court ordered that the period

from March 14, 2007 to May 9, 2007 be excluded from Speedy Trial Act calculations under 18

U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) & (B)(iv). 

4. The Court scheduled a change of plea and sentencing hearing on May 9, 2007, at 1:30

p.m.
