JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties to this action, that the change of plea date for defendant Robert Doyle, currently scheduled for September 19, 2014, at 9:30 a.m., may be continued one week to September 26, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. for change of plea. The case will resolve by change of plea but defense counsel needs a brief continuance to meet with Mr. Doyle, respond to his questions and finalize the terms of the plea agreement prior to the change of plea date.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED THAT the time to September 26, 2014, should be excluded in accordance with the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(1)(A) and (h)(7)(B)(iv) for effective preparation taking into consideration due diligence to enable counsel to meet with Mr. Doyle, respond to his questions and finalize the plea agreement prior to the change of plea.
I hereby attest that I have permission of the parties to enter a conformed signature (/s/) for all signatures within this e-filed document.
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the change of plea date for defendant Robert Doyle, currently scheduled for September 19, 2014, at 9:30 a.m., may be continued one week to September 26, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. for change of plea.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the time from September 19, 2014, to September 26, 2014, should be excluded in accordance with the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(1)(A) and (h)(7)(B)(iv) for effective preparation of counsel taking into consideration due diligence to enable defense counsel to meet with Mr. Doyle, respond to all of his questions and finalize the terms of the plea agreement prior to the change of plea date. The Court finds there is good cause and the ends of justice served by the granting of the continuance outweigh the interests of the public and defendant in a speedy and public trial. Failure to grant the requested continuance would unreasonably deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account due diligence.
SO ORDERED.
