pretrial motions.  The pretrial conference is hereby rescheduled to Monday, May 
17, 2021, at 9:30 a.m.1 
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 parties need additional time to 
continue reviewing discovery in this case 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 12th day of April, 2021.
