                       UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                          DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA                  Criminal No. 24-528 (ESK)


                 v.                       Hon. Edward S. Kiel


ARTHUR SPITZER,                            ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE
MENDEL DEUTSCH, and
JOSHUA FELDBERGER




      This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of the

United States, by Alina Habba, United States Attorney for the District of New

Jersey (Daniel A. Friedman, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and

defendants Arthur Spitzer (Henry Mazurek, Esq. and Jason Ser, Esq.,

appearing), Mendel Deutsch (Timothy Sini, appearing), and Joshua Feldberger

(Zach Intrater, Esq., appearing) for an order granting a continuance of

proceedings in the above-captioned matter; and the defendants being aware

that the defendants have the right to have this matter brought to trial within

70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial officer of this court

pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1); and the Court having granted one prior

continuance; and each defendant having consented to such continuance and

having waived such right; and for good cause shown,

      IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be

continued for the following reasons:
Case 1:24-cr-00528-ESK       Document 65    Filed 05/10/25   Page 2 of 5 PageID: 226




      1.        This case is an unusual or complex case within the meaning of the

Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii), in light of the number of

defendants, the number of charges, and the nature of the prosecution, such

that it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings

or for the trial itself within 70 days.

      2.        The discovery in the case is voluminous and additional time is

necessary to ensure that, taking into account the exercise of diligence, defense

counsel have sufficient time to review and inspect discovery and further

investigate the charges in this matter.

      3.    As a result of the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)

and (h)(7)(B)(ii) and (iv), the ends of justice are served by the granting of this

continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a

speedy trial.

      IT IS, therefore, on this        day of     , 2025,

      (1)       ORDERED that this action be, and hereby is, continued until

September 30, 2025; and it is further

      (2)       ORDERED that the period from the date of this order through

Speedy Trial Act of 1974, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et seq.
