STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Kyle Reardon, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, together with Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant Orest Shaynyuk that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for December 3, 2013, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on December 10, 2013 at 9:45 a.m.

This continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to further review the discovery in this matter, confer with his expert regarding the forensic evidence and endeavor to finalize a plea agreement in this case.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, November 27, 2013 up to and including December 10, 2103.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's December 3, 2013 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on December 10, 2013 at 9:45 a.m.

Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on November 27, 2013 through and including December 10, 2013.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
