arguments made by all parties, together with the balance of the records and files herein, This 

Court now finds as follows:

 That this Motion is the first motion to continue the pre-trial motions deadline and trial 

date filed by any party; 

 That the Government has distributed voluminous discovery to the defense that pertains to 

the instant case as well as a related case, thereby requiring additional time for effective defense 

preparation; 

 That extra time is needed for the defendant to review discovery with counsel through the 

assistance of a foreign language interpreter; 

 That the defendant understands his rights to a Speedy Trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 

3161 and has executed a speedy trial waiver through September 30th 2006; 

 That no party, including the United States, opposes a Motion to Continue the pre-trial 

motions deadline and the trial date. [However the Government is not in agreement with a 

proposed pre-trial motions deadline of August 17, 2006. Instead, the Government is proposing a 

deadline of July 17, 2006, due to the Government’s unavailability in August of 2006. The 

defense for Mr. Lee asserts that a July 17, 2006, pre-trial motions deadline will not afford 

sufficient time to adequately prepare the anticipated pre-trial motions. However, defense counsel 

has indicated no objection to extending the response deadline for the Government to 

accommodate the Government’s unavailability in August of 2006]; 

 That this period of delay is reasonable; that the defendants are joined for trial; that the 

time for trial has not run; and that no motion for severance has yet been granted. 18 U.S.C. 

Section 3161(h)(7); 

 The Court finds that taking into account the complexity of the case and the exercise of 

due diligence, that the failure to grant the continuance would deny the defense the reasonable 

time for effective trial preparation;

 Accordingly, This Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the requested 

continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendants in a speedy trial; 18 U.S.C. 

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

 The new proposed dates of [August 17th , 2006], for the motions cut-off deadline, and 

[September 25th, 2006], for the trial date, do not appear to prejudice any party, including the 

Government. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

The Pre-Trial Motions Cut-Off date shall be extended to August 17th , 2006, with the trial 

date of September 25th, 2006. 

It is further ordered that the period of delay resulting from this continuance is excludable 

pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(8)(A) and (B) as to each co-defendant. 

SO ORDERED ON THIS 5th DAY OF July, 2006
