STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SETTING HEARING DATE AND EXCLUDING TIME FROM THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT CALCULATION

WILLIAM H. ALSUP, District Judge.

The Defendant, RONALD McGREGOR, represented by Jodi Linker, Assistant Federal Public Defender, and the Government, represented by Christopher Vieira, Special Assistant United States Attorney, appeared before the Honorable Sallie Kim on November 22, 2017 for Defendant's Arraignment. Judge Kim set a status conference before the Honorable Charles Breyer for November 28, 2017, at 1:30 p.m. On November 27, 2017, the Honorable William Alsup related the above-titled case to United States v. Ronald McGregor, CR 12-00200 WHA. As a result, this matter was reassigned to Judge Alsup for all future proceedings.

In light of the Court's related case order, the parties agree, and the Court finds and holds, as follows:

1. This matter is set before this Court for a status conference on December 12, 2017.

2. The time between November 29, 2017 and December 12, 2017 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act in order to conduct necessary investigation. Failure to grant the requested continuance would deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and in the prompt disposition of criminal cases. See id. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
