"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Aviles, 2018 NY Slip Op 51298 (U) (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 2018):
On June 8, 2017, the court rendered a decision on the defendant's motion and the matter was adjourned to August 14, 2017for hearings and trial. "People are permitted a reasonable period time after hearings are ordered in which to prepare for trial." People v. Green, 90 AD2d 705 (1st Dept. 1982). Both parties agree this time is excludable.
August 14 to September 5, 2017: 22 days charged
