9 Respondent/Plaintiff, ORDER TO RELEASE

PETITIONER/DEFENDANT FORTHWITH
10 v. AND TO EXCLUDE TIME UNDER THE
SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
11 HAMID HAYAT,
COURT: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
12 Petitioner/Defendant.

13

14 For the reasons set forth in the Joint Stipulation to Release Petitioner/Defendant Forthwith and to

15 Exclude Time Under the Speedy Trial Act, filed by Respondent/Plaintiff United States of America (the

16 “government”) and Petitioner/Defendant, Hamid Hayat, and for good cause shown, the Court finds:

17 1. On July 30, 2019, this Court entered an order vacating Hayat’s conviction and sentence

18 after finding that Hayat’s privately-retained defense counsel, Wazhma Mojaddidi, provided him with

19 Constitutionally ineffective representation during his 2006 criminal trial.

20 2. Thereafter, Hayat filed a motion for release, which remains pending.

21 3. Pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., Hayat is entitled to a re-trial

22 within 70 days from this Court’s July 30, 2019 order.

23 4. The parties now propose to resolve Hayat’s motion for release, and to exclude time for

24 the purpose of computing the deadline under the Speedy Trial Act by which a re-trial must commence.

25 5. Specifically, Hayat agrees to submit to the following pre-trial release conditions:

26 a. Hayat agrees to submit to pre-trial supervision by the United States Probation Office and

27 comply with the below conditions and certain standard reporting requirements set forth in

28 an Exhibit to the Court’s Order;

1
 Case 2:05-cr-00240-GEB-DB Document 757 Filed 08/09/19 Page 2 of 5

1 b. Hayat agrees to limit his travel to within the geographic boundaries of the Eastern District

2 of California and to seek advance permission from the supervising officer or the Court

3 for any travel outside those boundaries;

4 c. Hayat agrees not to seek a new United States passport or a passport from any other

5 country;

6 d. Hayat agrees not to travel outside of the geographic boundaries of the United States;

7 e. Hayat agrees to submit to a voluntary curfew at a residence approved by the supervising

8 officer between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6 a.m., and agrees to seek advance approval

9 from the supervising officer or the Court for any deviations from that curfew;

10 6. Under the above conditions, the United States does not oppose Hayat’s motion for

11 release.

12 7. The parties also jointly seek a status conference before this Court on September 20, 2019,

13 to address scheduling for a re-trial.

14 8. The parties agree that a re-trial will require substantial preparation by Defense Counsel,

15 as set forth in the parties’ stipulation, and jointly request this Court exclude for purposes of calculating

16 the deadline by which a re-trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, the period between the date

17 on which this Court enters this order and September 20, 2019, inclusive, under Local Code T4.

18 9. The parties stipulate and agree that Defense Counsel believes that failure to grant the

19 above-requested continuance would deny Defense Counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective

20 preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

21 10. The parties stipulate and agree that the ends of justice served by excluding time as set

22 forth in this stipulation outweigh the interest of the public and Hayat in a trial within the original date

23 prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.

24 11. The parties further agree and stipulate that they will move to vacate the status conference

25 should the United States decide not to pursue a re-trial in this matter, and, in that instance, the release

26 conditions set forth above shall terminate upon the United States’ filing of a motion to dismiss the

27 Second Superseding Indictment.

28 12. Nothing in this order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial

2
 Case 2:05-cr-00240-GEB-DB Document 757 Filed 08/09/19 Page 3 of 5

1 Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must

2 commence.
