STIPULATION AND ORDER VACATING DATE, CONTINUING CASE NO. AND EXCLUDING TIME
JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney, Jason Hitt, Counsel for Plaintiff, and attorneys Clemente M. Jiménez, Counsel for Defendant Cesar Erendira Nava; Dustin Johnson, Counsel for Defendant Georgina Lopez Quintero; Michael Jason Lawley, Counsel for Defendant Alfonso Rivera, Jr.; Chris Cosca, Counsel for Defendant Ruth Kellner; and Hannah Labaree, Counsel for Defendant Rodney Sharp, that the status conference in this matter currently scheduled for June 25, 2019, at 9:15 a.m. be vacated, and the matter be continued to this court's criminal calendar on August 20, 2019, at 9:15 a.m. for further status conference. This stipulation does not include Defendant Gary Roberts.
Discovery in this case consists of over 1,700 pages of reports; recordings and transcripts of wiretaps from five target lines; and pole camera data spanning twenty-four 06/24/19 hours a day for approximately a month. In addition, the government has indicated that additional discovery is forthcoming.
The parties will require additional time to continue review of discovery, conduct necessary investigation, prepare for trial, and confer with their respective clients.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 3161 et seq. be excluded from computation of time pursuant to Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), (Local code T-4), and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendant further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial.
