VINCE CHHABRIA, District Judge.
The Court has set June 16, 2015, at 1:00 p.m. as the date for a status conference in the above-styled matter. The parties respectfully request that the Court continue the date of the status conference to July 7, 2015. The parties seek this continuance because both parties need to further investigate this matter and because defense counsel needs additional time to review discovery and confer with the defendant.
In addition, the parties move for an exclusion of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act between June 16, 2015 and July 7, 2015 so that defense counsel may further investigate this matter, review discovery, and confer with the defendant, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
SO STIPULATED.
For the reasons stated above, the Court continues the Status Conference in this matter from June 16, 2015 to July 7, 2015.
In addition, with the agreement of the parties, and with the consent of the defendant, the Court enters this order documenting the exclusion of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), from June 16, 2015 to July 7, 2015. In light of the circumstances set forth above, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the period from June 16, 2015 to July 7, 2015 from Speedy Trial Act calculations outweighs the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial by allowing the defendant continuity of counsel and by allowing for the defense to prepare effectively, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
The Status Conference in this matter currently scheduled for June 16, 2015 is reset to July 7, 2015.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:
With the consent of Defendant Jamie Lee Thompson, the period from June 16, 2015 to July 7, 2015 is excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculations for effective preparation of counsel, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
