STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney, through James Conolly, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Douglas J. Beevers, attorneys for Marc Anthony Gonzalez, that the status conference scheduled for February 21, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., be vacated and the matter continued to March 14, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. for status conference.

Defense counsel requires additional time to review additional discovery, conduct further investigation regarding potential mitigation, to engage in legal research, and to consult with the client regarding a possible resolution of this matter. Additionally, defense counsel is currently in trial before Your Honor in Case No. 2:16-cr-217 MCE.

Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from February 19, 2019, through and including March 14, 2019; 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.

Counsel and the defendant also agree that the ends of justice served by the Court granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

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 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, February 19, 2019, up to and including March 14, 2019, 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 February 21, 2019 status conference shall be continued until March 14, 2019, at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
