__________________________________________)

THIS MATTER came before the Court upon the motion of Defendant Chad

Feldman, through his attorney, Roger Hunko, and stipulated to by the United States of America,

by and through John McKay, United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and

Douglas Whalley and Matthew H. Thomas, Assistant United States Attorneys for said District,

requesting a continuance of the trial date. Having considered all the files and records herein,

THIS COURT FINDS, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section

3161(h)(8)(B)(i) that failure to grant such a continuance in the proceeding would be likely to

make a continuation of such proceeding impossible, or result in a miscarriage of justice.

THIS COURT FINDS, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section

3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), that failure to grant the continuance in this case, which, taken as a whole, is

not so unusual or so complex as to fall within clause (ii), would deny counsel for the defendant

the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, due to counsel’s need for more time to

review the evidence and consider possible defenses, taking into account the exercise of due

diligence;

THIS COURT FINDS, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), that

no previous motion for continuance has been granted, and the defendant has indicated he will file

a waiver of speedy trial in support of this motion. 

THIS COURT FINDS, therefore, that pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section

3161(h)(8)(A), the ends of justice will best be served by a continuance, and that they outweigh the

best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

THIS COURT FURTHER FINDS that all of the additional time requested between the

original trial date of March 20, 2006, and the new trial date of JUNE 12, 2006 is necessary to

provide counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary to prepare for trial.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the trial date will be continued

until JUNE 12, 2006 at 9:30 a.m., with a pretrial conference on JUNE 6, 2006 at 9:00am and

that the date within which the pretrial motions are due is continued to APRIL 24, 2006. The time

between this date and the new trial date is excluded in computing the time within which a trial

must be held pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161, et. seq. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of March, 2006. ARONALD B. LEIGHTON
