Plaintiff,

HON. VICTORIA A. ROBERTS

D-1 PAUL NICOLETTI, 

Defendant. 

 / 

ORDER ADJOURNING TRIAL AND FOR 

FINDING OF EXCLUDABLE DELAY PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. '3161

 

The Court reviewed and considered the stipulation of the parties, 

dated July 27, 2017, and finds that additional time is necessary to allow 

counsel to adequately prepare for trial in light of his recent 

appointment and the voluminous nature of the documentary discovery 

and to consider additional pretrial motions and possible plea 

negotiations once review of the discovery materials is completed. 

IT IS ORDERED that the trial will begin on March 19, 2018 at 

8:30am. The Court has the case on its docket to be completed by

March 29, 2017. The Court will provide counsel with a trial schedule. 

The pretrial motion cut-off date is November 27, 2017, and the Final 

2:15-cr-20382-VAR-MKM Doc # 70 Filed 07/27/17 Pg 3 of 4 Pg ID 622
Pretrial Conference is set for February 27, 2018 at 2pm. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period from and including 

June 12, 2017 to March 19, 2018 be excluded from the calculations of 

the time period within which the defendant must be tried pursuant to 

the Speedy Trial Act because the Court finds, for the reasons set forth 

above, that the reasons for the delay outweigh the best interests of the 

public and the defendants in a speedy trial. See 18 U.S.C. ''

3161(h)(7)(A), 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), and 3161(h)(1)(as to other proceedings 

involving the defendant). 

SO ORDERED.
