EXAMINATION, AND TO EXCLUDE TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, Jill Thomas, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, and Michael E. Hansen, attorney for defendant Robert Ronning, that the previously-scheduled preliminary examination date of August 9, 2011, be vacated and the matter set for preliminary examination on October 6, 2011.

Accordingly, counsel and the defendant agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act from the date this stipulation is lodged, through October 6, 2011, should be excluded in computing time within which trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].

Respectfully submitted,
