STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY HEARING
CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.
The United States of America, through its counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christiaan Highsmith, and defendant, Jordan Kinglee, through Assistant Federal Defender, Matthew M. Scoble, stipulate that the Preliminary Hearing, currently scheduled for September 23, 2015, be continued to October 28, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.
The parties stipulate pursuant to Rule 5.1(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that the delay is required to allow the defense reasonable time for preparation, for the government's continuing investigation of the case, and for the parties to evaluate the evidence and consider the possibility of a pre-indictment resolution of the case.
The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting the defendant's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, and that this is an appropriate exclusion of time for defense preparation within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) (Local Code T4).
ORDER
Finding good cause, the Court orders the preliminary hearing continued to October 28, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., before the Hon. Dale A. Drozd; and, time excluded for the reasons set forth above. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the defendant's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
