STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE, AND TO EXCLUDE TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney, through Roger Yang, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Toni White, attorney for Lashawndra Walker, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Hannah R. Labaree, attorneys for Samantha Sampson, that the status conference scheduled for January 18, 2018 be vacated and continued to March 15, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.
Discovery has been either produced directly to counsel and/or made available for inspection and copying. Counsel for defendants desire additional time to consult with their clients, to review the current charges, to conduct investigation and research related to the charges, to discuss potential resolutions with their clients, and to otherwise prepare for trial.
Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from this order's date through and including March 15, 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.
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, January 11, 2018, up to and including March 15, 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 January 18, 2018 status conference shall be continued until March 15, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
