IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CASE NO. 2:15-cr-00192 GEB Plaintiff, STIPULATION REGARDING EXCLUDABLE TIME PERIODS UNDER SPEEDY TRIAL ACT; v. [PROPOSED] FINDINGS AND ORDER TO CONTINUE CASE TO 5/25/18 AT 9:00 A.M. RICHARD PHUNG, SU QING LI

Defendants STIPULATION Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, Roger Yang, and Defendants Richard Phung, represented by Attorney Dina Santos; Defendant Su Qing Li, represented by Attorney Mark Jeffery Rosenblum, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on March 2, 2018. 2. By this stipulation, defendants now move to continue the status conference until May 25,

2018, and to exclude time between March 2, 2018, and May 25, 2018, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.

3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following: a) Counsel for defendants desire additional time to continue to conduct investigation, and to otherwise prepare for trial. Counsel for defendants believe that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny them the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The government does not object to the continuance.

b) 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.
c) 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 March 2, 2018, to May 25, 2018, 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 defendants 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 defendants 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.
