ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Phillip A. Talbert, Acting United States Attorney, through Justin Lee, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Chief Assistant Federal Defender Linda Allison, attorney for Clifford Ross Beattie, that the status conference scheduled for October 31, 2016 be vacated and be continued to November 21, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.
This continuance is necessary as there is a substantial amount of discovery the client is still reviewing and the defense requires additional time to discuss with the client how he wishes to proceed with his case
The parties stipulate that for the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, the Court should exclude time from the date of this order through November 21, 2016, for defense preparation and investigation. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [Local Code T4].
The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendants in a speedy trial.
The Court orders that the time from the date of the parties stipulation, October 27, 2016 up to and including November 21, 2016, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) T4 [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] (Local Code T4). It is further ordered that the October 31, 2016 status conference hearing shall be continued until November 21, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.
