The court granted the parties' stipulation to continue the change of plea proceeding, rescheduling it from April 9, 2026 to May 14, 2026. The order explicitly excludes time from the Speedy Trial Act calculation during this period, meaning the delay does not count toward any speedy trial violation. This is a routine procedural adjustment in a pending criminal case.

For the defendant and defense counsel, this represents an additional month before the change of plea process concludes. The Speedy Trial Act exclusion ensures the continuance does not prejudice the defendant or trigger dismissal concerns. All parties should note the new hearing date and prepare accordingly.
