Orders for continuance under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) were entered on the parties' joint applications in October 2023 and January 2024, each stating the continuance was needed for effective preparation and to let the parties try to resolve the case before indictment. A proposed order filed April 6, 2026 in the district case would extend her self-surrender date.
