STIPULATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL TO MARCH 10, 2015 AND ORDER THEREON

ANTHONY W. ISHII, Senior District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, and through the respective attorneys of record herein, to reset the trial above captioned matter, from January 13, 2015 to March 10, 2015, at 8:30 a.m.

Counsel for defendant Shirley Davidson requires additional time for further investigation, and to consult with her client. Ms. Davidson's severely declining health and need for medical treatment has increasingly impeded communications between her and counsel. It is anticipated that medical treatment and/or surgery for uterine cancer will be scheduled within the next 90 days. Ms. Davidson suffers from symptoms including pain and discomfort, making it impossible for Ms. Davidson to sit for any length of time, walk more than short distances, travel, or focus on her case. These conditions impede counsel's trial preparation, attorney-client conferences and advisements. For these reasons counsel seeks a continuance of the current trial date. The parties have agreed to continue the trial to March 10, 2015.

For purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of January 13, 2015 through March 10, 2015, inclusive, is deemed excludable because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED, that the trial date in the above-entitled matter currently set to begin January 13, 2015, shall be continued to March 10, 2015. The Trial Confirmation and Motions in Limine Hearing currently set for December 22, 2014, shall be continued to February 23, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
