THE COURT NOW FINDS that pursuant to Title 18, U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A)

and § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), the ends of justice served by continuing the trial date to March

6, 2006 (or up to March 16, 2006, if a later date is selected), outweigh the best interests

of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, in that, as set forth in the parties’

Stipulation, it has been demonstrated that defense counsel need additional time to

properly prepare and investigate this case. Specifically, counsel need additional time to

review the voluminous discovery materials in this case. The Court further finds that

there are additional logistical difficulties faced by defense counsel because most of the

defendants who request this continuance reside in a remote area of northern British

Columbia and therefore meetings with defense counsel must be planned well in advance

and require great effort on behalf of both the defendants and their counsel. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT trial in this matter is continued until

March 6, 2006 (or up to March 16, 2006, if a later date is scheduled) and that any

additional pretrial motions be filed no later than February 9, 2006.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, for the purposes of computing the time

limitations imposed by the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161-3174, the period of

delay from January 23, 2006, up to and including March 6, 2006 (or up to March 16, 

2006, if a later date is scheduled), is excludable time pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 

3161(h)(8)(A) and (h)(8)(B)(iv).

DONE this 20th day of January, 2006.
