TRIAL ACT
STIPULATION
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and
through defendant’s counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for a status conference before the Honorable
Kimberly J. Mueller on January 6, 2026, and the Court excluded time finding that the ends of justice
served by granting the continuance outweighed the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy
trial. ECF Nos. 33 and 39.
2. On December 30, 2025, the Honorable Troy L. Nunley, Chief District Judge, reassigned
this matter to the Honorable Dina M. Coggins, District Judge, for further proceedings. The parties are
requesting to continue the status conference previously set for January 6, 2026 before Judge Mueller to
Judge Coggins’ February 6, 2026, 9:30 a.m. calendar.

conference is necessary to allow for reasonable time for effective preparation, taking into account the
exercise of due diligence. The parties therefore request that the Court exclude time pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) (Local Code T4) because the ends of justice served in granting the
requested exclusion outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

commenced under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), and B(iv) [Local Code
