STIPULATION RE: CONTINUANCE AND ORDER

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.

Defendant RAMON MANJARREZ-DEL VAAL, by and through his attorney, HARRY DRANDELL, and the United States of America, by and through its attorneys, BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, and KAREN A. ESCOBAR, Assistant United States Attorney, hereby enter into the following stipulation:

2. The parties to the above-captioned matter therefore agree to vacate the December 3, 2012, status conference date in this matter.

3. The parties stipulate that time would be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act and that the ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, in that the failure to grant the continuance would deny the parties an opportunity to effectuate their plea agreement.

ORDER

Having read and considered the parties' stipulation to vacate the status conference date of December 3, 2012, and reset the matter for a change of plea on December 10, 2012, at 8:30 a.m.,

IT IS THE ORDER of the Court that the status conference currently set for December 3, 2012, is hereby vacated and the matter is reset for a change of plea on December 10, 2012, at 8:30 a.m.

The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, in that the failure to grant the continuance would deny the parties an opportunity to effectuate their plea agreement.

WHEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that time shall be excluded in the interest of justice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
