ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE

STEVEN C. MANNION, Magistrate Judge.

This matter having been opened to the Court by Craig Carpenito, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Robert Frazer, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant listed above (Saverio Viggiano, Esq, appearing) for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter; and the defendant being aware that he has the right under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b) to have the matter presented to a Grand Jury within thirty (30) days of his arrest; and the defendant through his attorney having waived such rights and consented to the continuance; and this being the THIRD continuance presented to the Court; and for good and sufficient cause shown,

IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:

1. Plea negotiations are in progress, and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to negotiate a plea agreement, which would render a trial of this mailer unnecessary in Court.

2. Defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance.

3. The grant of a continuance will Likely conserve judicial resources.

4. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the deFendant in a speedy trial.

WHEREFORE, it is on this 28th day of January 2020

ORDERED that the proceedings in the above-captioned matter are continued from January 31, 2920 through and including March 2,2020, and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period between January 31, 2020 through and including March 2, 2020 shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974.
