STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUNG STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated and agreed between Plaintiff, United States of America, and defendants Wayne York, Marco Antonio Ramirez Zuno and Juan Carlos Montalbo, that the status conference scheduled for September 20, 2016, may be continued to December 13, 2016, at 9:15 a.m.

Although the government has provided approximately 5000 pages of discovery to date, it is still in the process of collating and Bates stamping the results of several email search warrants and has been unable to disclose those materials to the defense. Hopefully that material will be available next week.

All counsel therefore need additional time to review discovery and to pursue investigation before the case is further scheduled. They agree that the status conference should be continued to December 13, 2016, and ask the Court to order time excluded under the Speedy Trial Act through that date in order to afford necessary time for effective preparation. The parties agree that the interests of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to order time excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv).

ORDER

The status conference is continued to December 13, 2016, at 9:15 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to order time excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
