STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney, through James Conolly, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Hannah R. Labaree, attorneys for Doroteo Reyes, stipulate that the status conference scheduled for March 29, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., vacated and the matter continued to April 26, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., for further status conference.

Defense counsel requires additional time to review discovery with the defendant and pursue investigation, as well as continue negotiations toward a non-trial disposition.

Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded of this order's date through and including April 26, 2018; pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation. Stipulation and Order

Counsel and the defendant also agree that the ends of justice served by the Court granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

ORDER

The Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. It specifically finds 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 further finds the ends of justice are served by granting the requested continuance and outweigh the best interests of the public and defendants in a speedy trial.

Time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including April 26, 2018, 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) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further ordered the March 29, 2018 status conference shall be continued until April 26, 2018, at

IT IS ORDERED.
