The Defendant, JOSE LOPEZ-RAMIREZ, by and through his attorney of record, DAVID A. TORRES, hereby requests the status conference hearing currently set for Monday, April 3, 2017, be continued to Monday, August 7, 2017.

I have received the initial discovery on February 2017, however, over the past few days I have received a voluminous amount of discovery which includes reports, wire-taps and videos. I am scheduled to begin trial in the matter of People v. Kyle Hulsey, BF161511A. The duration of this trial is approximately thirty court days. I have informed AUSA Laurel Montoya that I need additional time to review the recent received discovery.

In addition, I am informed that co-defendant, Trinidad Martinez-Masiel, has retained private counsel. Moreover, attorney Christopher Caine hereby joins this request for a continue so that he can also familiarize himself with the facts of this case, herein. I have spoken to AUSA Laurel Montoya and she does not object to the continuance of this matter.

The parties also agree the delays resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interest of justice pursuant to 18 USC 3161 (h)(7)(A) and 3161 (h)(7)(B)(1).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
