ORDER ADJOURNING TRIAL AND 

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

 

The Court, having reviewed and considered the stipulation of the parties, 

dated February 24, 2017, and the defendant’s Motion to Adjourn Trial of the same 

date, and it appearing that additional time is necessary to allow counsel to 

adequately brief the government’s pending Motion in Limine and to adequately 

prepare for trial in light of the Court’s ruling on that motion, to give counsel for the 

defendant additional time to obtain certain documentary evidence subject to 

subpoena, and to engage in additional pretrial plea negotiations. 

IT IS NOW THEREFORE ORDERED that the trial in this matter be 

rescheduled from March 21, 2017 to June 12, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., that the motion 

in limine cut-off date be extended to March 3, 2017, and that the plea cut-off date

and final pretrial conference by rescheduled to April 18, 2016 at 2 p.m.. 

2:15-cr-20382-VAR-MKM Doc # 52 Filed 02/28/17 Pg 3 of 4 Pg ID 548
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period from and including 

March 21, 2017 to June 12, 2017 be excluded from the calculations of the time 

period within which the defendants must be tried pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act 

because the Court finds, for the reasons set forth above and in the referenced 

stipulation of the parties and Motion to Adjourn, 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
