STIPULATION TO EXCLUDE TIME; AND
[PROPOSED] ORDER
Currently, a preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 16, 2026. The parties are requesting
that this hearing be continued to February 9, 2026. The parties stipulate that time should be excluded
under the Speedy Trial Act from January 16, 2026, through February 9, 2026.
The Government produced discovery to Defendant, and it will produce additional materials. The
defense requires time to review this discovery to effectively prepare Defendant’s case. Accordingly, the
parties stipulate and agree that excluding time until February 9, 2026, will allow for the effective
preparation 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 January 16, 2026, through February 9, 2026, from
computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a
speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
The parties further stipulate and agree that, given the need to investigate matters which may bear

on the disposition in the case, good cause exists for extending the time limits for a preliminary hearing
under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1(d), and defense counsel accordingly consents on behalf of
the defendant to extending the time limit for the preliminary hearing. The parties further stipulate and
agree to an extension of time for the 30-day time period of an indictment under the Speedy Trial Act.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER
Based upon the facts set forth in the stipulation of the parties, the Court continues the
preliminary hearing scheduled for January 16, 2026, to February 9, 2026, and excludes time under the
Speedy Trial Act. The Court finds that failing to exclude the time from January 16, 2026, through
February 9, 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 January 16,
2026, through February 9, 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
January 16, 2026, through February 9, 2026, shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy
Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(iv).
The Court further finds good cause exists for extending the time limits for a preliminary hearing
under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1 and for extending the 30-day time period for an
indictment under the Speedy Trial Act. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 5.1; 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
