STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE HEARING
CHARLES R. BREYER, District Judge.
The parties stipulate as follows:
On November 16, 2016, a status hearing was held and further status hearing was set before the district court on December 14, 2016. Defendant Ebony Standifer, by and through her counsel of record Michael Stepanian, and Assistant United States Attorney Thomas M. Newman, hereby stipulate and agree to continue the status hearing from Wednesday, December 14, 2016, at 2:00 pm to January 4, 2017, at 2:00 pm.
For the reason that the Defendant needs additional time for effective preparation, continuity of counsel and adequate trial preparation, Plaintiff, the United States of America, and Defendant Ebony Standifer, hereby stipulate as follows:
That the period of delay from December 14, 2016, to January 4, 2017, shall be excluded in accordance with the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (h)(7)(B)(iv), as the ends for justice served by this exclusion allow for effective preparation, continuity of counsel and adequate trial preparation, which outweigh the best interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
ORDER
For the reasons stated by the parties in their stipulation, Court finds that the ends of justice served by delaying the trial of this matter outweigh the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial because additional time is required to allow for continuity of counsel and to allow Defendant's counsel adequate time to review the government's discovery; to prepare this matter for trial; and prepare witnesses for trial.
IT IS ORDERED that the period of delay from December 14, 2016, to January 4, 2017, status conference shall be excluded in accordance with the provisions for the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (h)(7)(B)(iv), as the ends of justice served by this continuance allowing for continuity of counsel and for adequate preparation outweigh the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
