STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective undersigned counsel that the status conference presently scheduled on the court calendar for Thursday, January 17, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for Status Conference, be vacated and continued without appearance to Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for Status Conference.

Counsel are still in the process of investigation and negotiation and Mr. Singh is further reviewing the auditory discovery provided by the government. It is expected that a disposition will be reached prior to this next status conference. Counsel are in the process of working out a plea negotiation that, by its nature, takes time to arrive at an appropriate agreement.

The parties further stipulate and agree that the ends of justice will be served by the granting of this request for continuance which outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant's right to a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4, from the previously set date of January 17, 2019, up to and including the proposed new status conference date of March 28, 2019. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court adopt this proposed stipulation.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Court, having read and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety including the exclusion of time for trial pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The previously set date for Status Conference of January 17, 2019 is hereby vacated, and the matter is set on the Court's law and motion calendar for Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for Status Conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
