Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and

2. 	By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until March
12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., and to exclude time between January 8, 2026, and March 12, 2026, under Local
Code T4.
3. 	The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a) 	The government produced initial discovery to current counsel which included law
enforcement reports, search warrant photos, and additional documents.
b) 	Counsel for defendant desires additional time to consult with her client, review
the discovery, and otherwise prepare for trial.

c) 	Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested
continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into
account the exercise of due diligence.
d) 	The government does not object to the continuance.
e) 	Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the
case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the
original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
f) 	For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161,
et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of January 8, 2026 to March 12,
2026, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code
T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant’s request on the basis
of the Court’s finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best
interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
4. 	Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the
Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial
must commence.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
