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 the Government advised Mr. Fayne that 
it will be producing additional discovery.  Therefore, additional time is needed for 
Mr. Fayne to receive the discovery, review it 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). 
IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of August, 2020.
