Time may be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act if the Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The parties jointly move to exclude time within which any indictment or information shall be filed from the date of this order, through and including September 18, 2015, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), because failure to do so would "deny counsel for the defendant... the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence."
