ORDER STIPULATED REQUEST TO CONTINUE STATUS HEARING TO MAY 7, 2013
RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.
The above-captioned matter is set on April 30, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. before this Court for a status hearing following a settlement conference. The settlement conference was originally scheduled for April 29, 2013 but has since been rescheduled to May 1, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. Therefore, the parties request that this Court continue the status hearing regarding the settlement conference to May 7, 2013 so that it will follow the newly scheduled settlement conference date. On that date, change of plea, motions, or trial will be discussed
The Court has previously excluded the running of the speedy trial clock for effective preparation of counsel, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), through April 30, 2013. Therefore, the parties now request that the time between April 30, 2013 and May 7, 2013 be excluded from the running of the speedy trial clock for that same reason — effective preparation of counsel, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties agree that, taking into account the public interest in prompt disposition of criminal cases, good cause exists for this extension due to the pending settlement conference scheduled for May 1, 2013 and the parties need to prepare for that conference. The parties also agree that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
For the reasons stated above, this matter is continued until May 7, 2013, for a status hearing regarding the settlement conference at which time change of plea, motions, or trial will be discussed. The Court finds that the exclusion of time from April 30, 2013 through May 7, 2013 is warranted and that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(A). The failure to grant the requested continuance would deny the defendants effective preparation of counsel. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
SO ORDERED.
