STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.

The parties hereto, by and through their respective attorneys, stipulate and agree that the status hearing in this matter, currently calendared for September 29, 2014 at 1:00 p.m., be continued to November 3, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. before the Hon. Sheila K. Oberto.

The continuance is necessitated to allow additional time for defense counsel to review discovery and meet with his client.

The parties also agree that any delay resulting from this continuance shall be excluded in the interest of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(1)(F), 3161(h)(8)(A) and 3161(h)(8)(B)(I).

ORDER

The parties' stipulated request for a continuance of the status conference date to November 3, 2014, is GRANTED.

The Court notes that the defendants were indicted on December 5, 2013, and a superseding indictment was filed on February 28, 2014, adding defendant Lorena Valencia. The Court further notes that there have been three status conferences in this case and this matter has also been continued by stipulation. Accordingly, if the parties are unable to reach an agreement that resolves this matter prior to the next status conference date of November 3, 2014, they shall be prepared to select a mutually acceptable trial date at the status conference on November 3, 2014. The delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interests of justice for the reasons set forth in the parties' stipulation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
