16 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by and between United States
17 Attorney Eric Grant, through Assistant United States Attorney Samuel Stefanki, counsel for
18 Plaintiff, and Jennifer J Wirsching attorney for Akash Singh, that the status conference, currently
19 scheduled for March 12, 2026, be continued to May 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
20 Defense counsel requests additional time as defense counsel has just substituted in, and
21 has yet to receive discovery in this matter. Counsel will need to review discovery and conduct
22 investigation in this case. The parties believe a continuance to May 14, 2026 will permit defense
23 counsel the additional time necessary to conduct pretrial investigation, identify and interview
24 witnesses, obtain pertinent records, and finalize any further pre-plea negotiations.
25 Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be
26 excluded of this order’s date through and including May 14, 2026; pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161
(h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4
27
based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.

1 ORDER
2 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties’
3 stipulation, and good cause appearing therefore, adopts the parties’ stipulation in its entirety as
4 its order. The Court specifically finds the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny
5 counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of
6 due diligence. The Court finds the ends of justice are served by granting the requested
7 continuance and outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.
8 The Court orders the time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including May
9 14, 2026 shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be
10 commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and(B)(iv)
11 [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further
12 ordered the March 12, 2026 status conference shall be continued until May 14, 2026, at 9:00
13 a.m.
