18 Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its attorney of record, Special Assistant U.S.

19 Attorney ROBERT J. ARTUZ, and Defendant ANDREA M. GERVAIS, both individually and by and

20 through her counsel of record, CHRIS COSCA, hereby stipulate as follows:
21 1. The Complaint in this case was filed on December 11, 2020, and Defendant Andrea M.

22 Gervais first appeared before a judicial officer of the Court in which the charges in this case were

23 pending on December 16, 2020. The Court set a preliminary hearing date of January 6, 2021, and by the

24 parties’ stipulation the hearing was continued to February 25, 2021, with an exclusion of time.

25 2. By this stipulation, the parties jointly move to continue the preliminary hearing date to

26 March 26, 2021 at 2:00 p.m., before the duty Magistrate Judge, pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) of the Federal
27 Rules of Criminal Procedure. The parties stipulate that the delay is required to allow the defense

28 reasonable time for preparation, and for the government’s collection and production of discovery and

1 continuing investigation of the case. For example, the government is continuing to provide discovery

2 relevant to this case, including additional California EDD records and extractions of seized electronic

3 devices. Defense counsel needs additional time to review and consider all the evidence and to conduct

4 further investigation. The parties further agree that the interests of justice served by granting this

5 continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §

6 3161(h)(7)(A).

7 3. The parties agree that good cause exists for the extension of time, and that the extension

8 of time would not adversely affect the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases.

9 Therefore, the parties request that the time between February 25, 2021, and March 26, 2021, be
10 excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T-4.

11 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
