04/27/2020 42 MINUTE ORDER (Text Only) issued by courtroom deputy for Senior District Judge, Morrison C. England, Jr.: On the Court's own motion, in the interest of public health and safety, the 5/28/2020 Status Conference as to RAHMAN LAKHANI is VACATED and CONTINUED to 6/25/2020, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 7. Time is excluded pursuant to the analysis and reasoning set forth in General Orders 611 and 617. The Court specifically finds under 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7)(A) that, given the effect of the public health recommendations on the ability of judges, counsel, court staff, the press, or members of the general public to be present in the courtroom in light of the recent outbreak of COVID-19 and the well-documented concerns surrounding this virus, the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Failure to exclude time under these circumstances would result in a miscarriage of justice under 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7)(B)(i). The parties may nonetheless, should they choose to do so, file a stipulation regarding the exclusion of time as well. (Deutsch, S) (Entered: 04/27/2020)
