Dauenheimer) and defendant Darius, represented by Rahul Sharma, to continue the proceedings through April 28, 2022. The stated reasons are time for defense preparation, ongoing plea negotiations, the defendant's consent, saved judicial resources and the ends-of-justice finding under 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7).

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : Hon. Michael A. Hammer
Vv. Mag. No. 22-10018
BUTHERDE DARIUS ORDER FOR A CONTINUANCE

This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Philip R.
Sellinger, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Katherine M.
Romano and David E. Dauenheimer, Assistant United States Attorneys, appearing),
and defendant Butherde Darius (by Rahul Sharma, Esq., appearing), for an order
granting a contiuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter from the
date this Order is signed through and including April 28, 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 30
days of the date of the defendant’s arrest pursuant to Title 18, United States Code,
Section 3161(b); and no prior continuance having been entered; and the defendant,
through the defendant’s attorney, having consented to the continuance; and for good
and sufficient cause shown,

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
Case 3:22-cr-00783-GC Document11_ Filed 01/27/22 Page 2 of 3 PagelD: 27

additional time for effective preparation in this matter;

(2) Plea negotiations are currently in progress, and both the United States
and the defendant seek additional time to achieve successful resolution of those
negotiations, which would render trial of this matter unnecessary, and to allow
consideration by the court of a proposed plea agreement entered into by the
defendant and the United States;

(3) The defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance;

(4) The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources; and

(5) Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), 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 2 aay of January 2022;

ORDERED that this action be, and it hereby is, continued from the date this
Order is signed through and including April 28, 2022: and it is further

ORDERED that the period from the date this Order is signed through and
including April 28, 2022, shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy

Trial Act of 1974.
