                      UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                         DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY


 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA                         Hon. Jessica S. Mien

              v.                          :       Mag. No. 23-8137

 DANIEL DADOUN                                    ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE



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

 Khanna, Acting United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Katherine

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

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

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

       2.     This Court granted eight § 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 27     Filed 01/27/25    Page 2 of 3 PageID: 122




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

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

               h.    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.    Hea 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 January 31, 2025 through March 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




                                          -2-
Case 2:23-mj-08137-JSA       Document 27    Filed 01/27/25   Page 3 of 3 PageID: 123




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

 finding or representation that less than 31 non-excludable days under § 3161(h)

 have expired.

 Dated: January 27 2024
