AMENDED STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, JILL THOMAS and defendants RAMON LEVARIO, by and through his counsel, DANNY D. BRACE, SONNY GONZALEZ, by and though his counsel, JASON LAWLEY, and JESSE MONTANEZ, by and through her counsel of record, KELLY BABINEAU, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on November 19, 2013.
2. By this stipulation, defendants now moves to continue the status conference until January 28, 2014 at 9:45 a.m., and to exclude time between November 19, 2013 and January 28, 2014, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The government has provided the discovery in this case.
b. Counsel for defendants desire additional time to complete the review of discovery, to conduct defense investigation, and to discuss potential resolutions with her client. Counsel is continuing to engage in negotiations with the government
c. Counsel for defendants believe that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny their reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
d. The government does not object to the continuance.
e. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
f. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of November 19, 2013 to January 28, 2014 inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendants request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence.
