                                                 v.

                                         ASHLEY SPIKE
                              ORDER ON EXCLUDABLE TIME

                                         February 24, 2026

Boal, M.J.

       The defendant has elected to proceed under the Automatic Discovery Rules in accordance

with Local Rules 116.1 through 116.5. The interests of justice in this case, i.e., to provide the

parties additional time to develop their respective discovery plans, to produce discovery under

the automatic discovery process, to evaluate the discovery and to seek additional discovery, and

for the defendant to consider the need for pre-trial motions, outweigh the best interests of the

public and defendant for a trial within seventy days of the date of the defendant’s initial

appearance.

       Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that, pursuant to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. §

3161(h)(7)(A) and Section 5(b)(7)(B) of the Plan for Prompt Disposition of Criminal Cases in

the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Statement of Time Limits

Adopted by the Court and Procedures for Implementing Them, Effective December 2008) and

Local Rule 112.2(a)(1), the Clerk of this Court enter excludable time for the period February 24,

2026, which was the date of the defendant’s initial appearance in this district, up to and including

March 31, 2026, which is the date of the initial status conference. 1
