UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : Hon. Elizabeth A. Pascal
Ves :
Mag. No. 24-7043 (EAP)
LUQUAY ZAHIR
ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE

This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Philip
R. Sellinger, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (by Eric A. Boden,
Assistant United States Attorney, appearing), and defendant Luquay Zahir (by
Maggie Moy, Esq.), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the
above-captioned matter from the date this Order is signed through and including
June 28, 2024, to permit defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective
preparation in this matter and to allow the parties to conduct plea negotiations;
and the defendant being aware that the defendant has the right to have the
matter submitted to a grand jury within 30 days of the date of the defendant’s
arrest pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(b); and no prior
continuances having been requested or granted in this matter; and the
defendant, through the defendant’s attorney, having consented to the
continuance; and for good and sufficient cause shown,

IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued
for the following reasons:

(1) Both the United States and the defendant seek additional time to
engage in plea negotiations, which would render any subsequent trial of this
matter unnecessary;

(2) The defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance;

(3) The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources; and

(4) Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends
of justice served by the granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of
the public and the defendant in a speedy trial;

WHEREFORE, it is on this GO day of May, 2024;

ORDERED that this action be, and it hereby is, continued from the date
this Order is signed through and including June 28, 2024; and it is further

ORDERED that the period from the date this Order is signed through and
including June 28, 2024, shall be excludable in computing time under the
Speedy Trial Act of 1974.

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)
