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 (Peter
Katz, Esq., appearing), for an order granting a continuance under 18 U.S.C.

§ 3161(h)(7)(A) through J anuary 4 2024.

2. This Court granted no § 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 4 Filed 11/13/23 Page 2 of 3 PagelD: 15

a. The charges in this case result from a lengthy investigation, and
the United States and the defendant seek time to negotiate a protective order and
potential production of pre-indictment discovery, which is expected to include
voluminous bank records, which defense counsel will require adequate time to
review.

b. Both the United States and the defendant desire additional time
discuss the case and potentially to engage in plea negotiations.

C. Despite the exercise of diligence, therefore, the circumstances of
this case require giving defense counsel a reasonable amount of additional time for
effective preparation, and provide the parties time to consider plea negotiations,
which could render grand jury proceedings and a trial in this matter unnecessary.

d. Thus, the ends of justice served by granting the continuance |
outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

IT IS, therefore:

ORDERED that this action is continued for a period of approximately 60 days
from November 138, 2023 through January 13, 2024; and it is further

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

Trial Act of 1974; and it is further
