15 Defendant.

17 Based on the pending stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefore, the
18 Court finds:
19 1. Defense Counsel Johnson was made counsel of record on September 17, 2025.
20 2. Discovery provided by the Government on September 18, 2025, is voluminous,
21 including thousands of pages and audio interviews, and counsel requires additional time to
22 receive, review, and process this discovery.
23 3. The continuance requested is not sought for the purposes of delay, but to allow defense
24 counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise
25 of due diligence.
26 4. Defendant Singh is out custody, has been advised of this stipulation, and does not
27 object to the requested continuance.
28 5. This is the first request for a continuance in this matter by Defense Counsel Johnson.

1 6. The additional time requested by this stipulation (from November 13, 2025 through
2 January 8, 2026, inclusive) is excludable in computing the time within which the trial of the
3 captioned matter must commence pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)
4 [Local Code T4].
5 For these reasons, the ends of justice would be best served by a continuance.
6 The ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the interest of
7 the defendant and of the public in a speedy trial in that a failure to grant the continuance would be
8 likely to result in a miscarriage of justice, deny the defendant sufficient time and opportunity to
9 prepare for trial, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
10 The continuance is excludable in computing the time within which the trial of the
11 captioned matter must begin pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq., when
12 considering the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A), 3161(h)(7)(B)(i), and
13 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
14 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the Status Conference in the above-captioned
15 matter, currently scheduled for November 13, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. is hereby vacated and continued
16 to January 8, 2026, at 9:00 AM, in Courtroom 7 before District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta and
17 that the continuance is excludable in computing the time within which the trial of the captioned
18 matter must begin pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq., when considering
19 the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A), 3161(h)(7)(B)(i), and 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
