                        DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA              Criminal No. 24-528 (ESK)

                Vv.                   Hon. Edward S. Kiel

ARTHUR SPITZER,                       ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE
MENDEL DEUTSCH, and
JOSHUA FELDBERGER

      This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of the

United States, by Philip R. Sellinger, United States Attorney for the District of

New Jersey (Daniel A. Friedman, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and

defendants Arthur Spitzer (Henry Mazurek, Esq. and Jason Ser, Esq.,

appearing), Mendel Deutsch (Todd Blanche, Esq., and Emil Bove, Esq.,

appearing), and Joshua Feldberger (Zach Intrater, Esq., appearing) for an order

granting a continuance of proceedings in the above-captioned matter; and the

defendants being aware that the defendants have the right to have this matter

brought to trial within 70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial

officer of this court pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c}(1); and each defendant

having consented to such continuance and having waived such right; and for

good cause shown,

      IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be

continued for the following reasons:

Case 1:24-cr-00528-ESK Document17 _ Filed 09/03/24 Page 2 of 3 PagelD: 90

1. This case is an unusual or complex case within the meaning of the
Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii), in light of the number of
defendants, the number of charges, and the nature of the prosecution, such
that it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings
or for the trial itself within 70 days.

2. The discovery in the case is expected to be voluminous and
additional time is necessary to ensure that, taking into account the exercise of
diligence, defense counsel have sufficient time to review and inspect discovery
and further investigate the charges in this matter.

3. Asa result of the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)
and (h)(7)(B)(ii) and (iv), the ends of justice are served by the granting of this
continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a
speedy trial.

IT IS, therefore, on this BO day of September, 2024,

(1) ORDERED that this action be, and hereby is, continued until
May 12, 2025; and it is further

(2) ORDERED that the period from the date of this order through

Case 1:24-cr-00528-ESK Documenti7 _ Filed 09/03/24 Page 3 of 3 PagelD: 91

May 12, 2025 be and it hereby is excluded in computing time under the Speedy
Trial Act of 1974, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq.
