Case No. 26-CR-00048-2 EKL
STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS
HEARING AND EXCLUDE TIME UNDER THE
SPEEDY TRIAL ACT AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
Currently, there is a status conference scheduled for April 7, 2026. Counsel for Defendant is
reviewing discovery and has requested additional discovery items. The Government is looking into
Defendant’s request. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the status
conference scheduled for April 7, 2026, to May 19, 2026.
The parties stipulate and agree that excluding time until March 19, 2026, will allow for the
effective preparation and continuity of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties further
stipulate and agree that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from April 7, 2026, to May 19,
2026, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and
Defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).

[PROPOSED] ORDER
Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, and for good cause shown, the Court hereby continues the
status conference to May 19, 2026, and excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act from April 7, 2026, to
May 19, 2026. The Court finds that failing to exclude the time from April 7, 2026, to May 19, 2026,
would unreasonably deny defense counsel and the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective
preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The
Court further finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time from April 7, 2026, to May 19,
2026, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the
defendant in a speedy trial. Therefore, and with the consent of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED
that the time from April 7, 2026, to May 19, 2026, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy
Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
