                      UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                         DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA                           Hon. Jessica S. Allen

             v.                           :        Mag. No. 23-8137

DANIEL DADOUN                             :        ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE



       1.    This matter came before the Court on the joint application of Philip R.

Sellinger, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Katherine M.

Romano, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant Daniel Dadoun

(Anthony J. Pope, Jr., Esq., appearing), for an order granting a continuance under

18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) through January 31, 2025.

       2.    This Court granted seven § 3161(h)(7)(A) continuances previously in

this case.

       3.    Counsel for the parties represented that this continuance is necessary

for effective preparation and to permit the parties to attempt to resolve this case

prior to indictment and thereby avoid a trial.

       4.    Counsel for the United States also represented that this continuance is

necessary to prevent any more non-excludable days under § 3161(h) from expiring.

       5.    The defendant knows that he has the right under § 3161(b) to have

this matter submitted to a grand jury within thirty days after his arrest.

       6.    The defendant, through counsel, has consented to this continuance.

       7.    FOR GOOD CAUSE, THIS COURT FINDS that this case should be

continued for the following reasons:
Case 2:23-mj-08137-JSA       Document 22    Filed 12/12/24   Page 2 of 3 PageID: 109




              a.    The charges in this case result from a lengthy investigation, and

the United States and the defendant desire additional time discuss the case.

              b.    This case is sufficiently complex that it is unreasonable to expect

adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings within the time limits provided by the

Speedy Trial Act.

              c.    Plea negotiations are currently in progress, and both the United

States and the defendant desire additional time to negotiate a plea agreement,

which would render grand jury proceedings and a trial in this matter unnecessary.

IT IS, therefore:

      ORDERED that this action is continued for a period of approximately 50 days

from December 12, 2024 through January 31, 2025; and it is further

      ORDERED that those days are excluded in computing time under the Speedy

Trial Act of 1974; and it is further

      ORDERED that nothing in this Order or the application prompting it is a

finding or representation that less than 31 non-excludable days under § 3 161(h)

have expired.
