20 On August 21, 2024, the parties appeared before the Honorable P. Casey Pitts for a status
21 conference in this case. At this hearing, the Court set a change of plea hearing for September 11, 2024.

22 Defense counsel needs additional time to review discovery, conduct his own investigation, and prepare

23 for the change of plea hearing. Defense counsel requested a continuance and exclusion of time. The

24 Court granted the request. The parties hereby submit this joint stipulation to effectuate the Court’s order

25 to exclude time from August 21, 2024, through August 5, 2024, from the Speedy Trial Act calculation.

26 The parties hereby stipulate that the time from August 21, 2024, through September 11, 2024,
27 should be excluded from the period of time within which the defendants’ trial must commence pursuant

28 to the Speedy Trial Act in order to allow defense counsel sufficient time to prepare effectively, taking

1 ORDER

2 Based upon the representations made at the status conference on August 21, 2024, and in the

3 parties’ stipulation above, and for good cause shown, the COURT HEREBY ORDERS that the time

4 between August 21, 2024, and September 11, 2024, is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C.

5 § 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court finds that defense counsel needs additional time to

6 review discovery and investigate this matter, and that the failure to grant this request would

7 unreasonably deny defense counsel reasonable time to effectively prepare, taking into account the

8 exercise of due diligence. Furthermore, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the

9 request outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial and in the prompt

10 disposition of criminal cases. The Court therefore excludes this time pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

11 § 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
