conference will be conducted via Zoom.  The Court will send meeting instructions 
to all parties via email and/or docket entry in CM/ECF a week prior to the pretrial 
conference. 
The delay between the original and the rescheduled pretrial conference shall 
be excluded from Speedy Trial Act calculations because the Court finds that the 
reason for the delay was for good cause, as discovery in this case is voluminous 
and defense counsel needs additional time to review the discovery and determine 
what potential pretrial motions to file.  The interests of justice in granting the 
continuance outweigh the public’s and the defendant=s rights to a speedy trial.  18 
U.S.C. ' 3161, et seq.  The clerk is DIRECTED to exclude time from computation 
under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 
3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(i).
