STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE; [PROPOSED] ORDER

BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their respective counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Laura Withers, counsel for the plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Megan T. Hopkins, counsel for defendant Rolando Felix-Carrazco, that the status conference currently scheduled for August 13, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. be continued to August 27, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.

Defense counsel will be out of the office on August 13, 2018 and in light of the fact that this status conference is expected to result in the setting of a trial date, counsel would prefer not to have someone stand in for the hearing. Defense counsel will be available on August 27, 2018 and the parties will come to the hearing prepared to set a date for trial in this matter.

The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interests of justice, including but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(i) and (iv).

Time has previously been excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., through the August 13, 2018 status conference for inter alia defense trial preparation.
