IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
v. 
ARLEN G. ENCARNACION

Mag. No. 21-13425

: 
ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE     : 
:    
:    
:   
This matter having been opened to the Court by the United States 
Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Mark C. Orlowski and Olajide A. Araromi 
Assistant United States Attorneys, appearing), and the defendant Arlen 
G. Encarnacion 
(Lorraine Gauli-Rufo, Esq. 
appearing), 
for 
an 
order 
granting 
a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter from 
the date this Order is signed through and including December 15, 2022, to permit 
defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation in this 
matter and to allow the parties to conduct plea negotiations, and  the defendant 
being aware that the defendant has the right to have the matter submitted to a 
grand jury within thirty days of the date of the defendant’s arrest, pursuant 
to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), and the defendant through his attorneys having 
consented to the continuance and waived such right; and for good and sufficient cause  
shown, 
Case 2:21-mj-13425-LDW     Document 18     Filed 10/04/22     Page 1 of 3 PageID: 62

2 
IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued 
for the following reasons: 
1.
Taking into account the exercise of diligence, the facts of
this case require that defense counsel be permitted a
reasonable amount of time for effective preparation in this
matter.
2.
Plea negotiations are anticipated, and both the United
States and the defendant seek additional time to negotiate
a plea agreement, which would render any grand jury
proceedings and any subsequent trial of this matter
unnecessary.
3.
The defendant has consented to the continuance.
4.
The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial
resources.
5.
Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section
3161(h)(7)(A), the ends of justice served by granting the
continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and
the defendant in a speedy trial.
WHEREFORE, it is on this 4th day of October, 2022, 
ORDERED that the proceedings in the above-captioned matter are continued 
from the date this Order is signed through and including December 15, 2022; and 
Case 2:21-mj-13425-LDW     Document 18     Filed 10/04/22     Page 2 of 3 PageID: 63

3 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the aforementioned period shall be 
excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. 
HON. LEDA DUNN WETTRE 
United States Magistrate Judge 
Consented and Agreed to by: 
Lorraine Gauli-Rufo, Esq.       
Counsel for Arlen G. Encarnacion
